‘One-stop’ beauty salon plans
RANGE OF SERVICES PROPOSED FOR FORMER GARAGE SITE
A disused car showroom could be gearing up for a new future under plans by a hair and beauty expert.
Georgia Cotton aims to bring different types of polishes and trims to the former Suzuki dealership in Station Approach, East Boldon.
She wants to create a “onestop” shop of specialists to provide beauty services and treatments.
These would include nails, waxing, eyelash extensions, micro blading, make up, skin-care treatments, laser treatments, aesthetics and spray tans.
Miss Cotton, of Park Lea Road, Roker, Sunderland, is hoping her project does not raise eyebrows with planners at South Tyneside Council.
She insists the site, which has not been in use for around a decade, fits national planning policy of achieving sustainable development.
He application has already won the approval of bosses at demolition and dismantling company G O’Brien & Sons, which owns the land.
Planning consultant Michael Convery, who is acting for Miss Cotton, said she had identified the site after a long search for premises.
She operates a freelance hair and beauty business which sees her travel to clients’ homes in Cleadon, Boldon, other parts of South Tyneside and Seaburn.
In a planning document, he said: “The other hair and beauty specialists would collectively operate their own specialist areas of hair or beautician treatments and services within the one building.
“The proposed change of use will bring the building and land back into active use.”
Should planning permission be granted, 15 people are expected to work at the Cleadon Lane Industrial Estate.
