Garden Nail Salon Gets Go-Ahead In Residential Area

A nail salon business will open on a residential street in the Isle of Wight’s county town.

Kriszta Oltean Kis has planning permission to run the enterprise from a summerhouse in her garden at 59 Robin Hood Street in east Newport.

The nail technician previously said the service would be ‘one to one’, with only one client at a time.

County Hall said there would be no adverse impact resulting from the use but as a precaution, imposed conditions to limit hours of operation and ensure the level of activity would not be excessive for a residential area.

A decision report also said the proposal would have a minimal effect on the highway network.

Miss Oltean Kis’s application form said the opening hours of the premises would be between 9am and 8pm.

She previously told the council:

“There is a summerhouse that I would like permission to run my business from.

"I have a three-car drive where I am able to offer my clients a parking space, not affecting the road.

“There will be no employees or other people working.”

Neighbour Rachel Richards supported the application and said she welcomed the establishment of a small local business.

Planning consent has been granted with conditions to protect local amenity as well as to comply with legislation and planning policy.
