Hi everyone
I have been in the process of trying to set up a home salon.
It has taken ages for the council to actually respond but somebody from environmental health has been round & he seemed happy just advised me to check with the planning department about amount of clients per week.
After along phonecall I feel really annoyed, the lady I spoke to has said that the house will be classed as commercial use instead of residential so I need to apply for something (which could be declined) but if not will cost £385!
I do realise that some of you ladies have had a fee to pay but was that for a room such as a garage or an extension? As mine would be in a spare bedroom with at the most about 3 clients per week to start with & I have a drive. I am not changing the room or house layout whatsoever so I am confused as to why the planning department are telling me this.
Has anyone who set up a home salon in a spare bedroom had the same response??
I would really appreciate any feedback, thanks xx
