Former hairdressers could be set to become beauty salon

A former hairdressers could be set to become a beauty salon. Plans have been submitted to to open a beauty salon at 7 Clytha Buildings on Constance Street. The 26 sqm site, which was last used as a hairdressers, will require the installation of a front security shutter as part of the change.

The painted shop front with windows and doors is due to be replaced with an anodised aluminium roller shutter door in anthracite grey. The planning proposal states no changes will be made to vehicle or pedestrian access, and no additional parking is needed. The new beauty salon is expected to employ one full-time and one part-time worker.



The hours of operation for the proposed business remain unknown at this time. The site is not at risk of flooding, and no biodiversity or geological conservation issues have been identified. Waste storage and collection arrangements have been planned, with no trade effluents involved in the proposal.

Pre-application advice was sought pre-application advice on January 29 regarding the change of use requirements. The applicant is not the sole owner of the site, and notice has been given to other owners. No consultation has been conducted with neighbours or the local community about the proposal.

The planning application, registered on February 5, is pending consideration by the local authority. Newport City Council is inviting comments from the public until March 5 with the application able to be viewed on their planning portal under the reference code 25/0087..
