LET THE SUNSHINE IN! COUNCIL 'YES' TO EMILY'S PLANS TO CONVERT SHOP TO TANNING SALON

The shop in Kirkgate - soon to become the sunniest place in Waltham

YOU might not be able to jet off to the Mediterranean for a summer tan, but at least you will be able to get one in Waltham.

Emily Cook, who lives in the village, is set to convert the shop at 4 Kirkgate into a sunbed salon.

Her planning application for change of use of the small single-storey building premises has this week been approved North East Lincolnshire Council. 

The proposal did not got before the planning committee but was determined under delegated powers by case officer Lauren Birkwood. 

In her report, Ms Birkwood states: "Currently the building is used for retail purposes and has been for some time. 

"Its intended use as a sunbed salon will not be out of keeping in this location where a range of commercial uses are apparent. 

"The exterior of the building will be unaltered, and there will be minor internal works to achieve the desired floor area.

"On this basis, there would be no harm to the character of the area or the Waltham Conservation Area, and the proposal offers enhancement opportunities."

Although classed as a shop,  4 Kirkgate has most recently served as  opticians' consulting room with retail sale of spectacles.
