Hair and beauty salon hopes to stay in Worksop - all the latest Bassetlaw plans

The Confessions salon, which sits on Albion Close, on land close to Worksop fire station, has proved a hit since opening more than a year ago.

Now a planning application has been submitted to Bassetlaw District Council for a lawful development certificate to retain its current use.

According to the council’s website, this follows an enforcement enquiry last year into an alleged, unauthorised breach of change-of-use regulations at the building.

No action was taken and the occupants agreed to apply for a development consent order, rubber-stamping its current operation.

The application has been submitted by Dean Dixon, of Rose and Co Developments Ltd, a bespoke new-build housing developer, based at the same Albion Close address in Worksop.

It reads: “The building has been there for many years and was sat derelict and dilapidated. We have renovated it and brought it back into use. The work was completed in September 2023.

"There is sufficient parking for the salon’s customers, and all the required services are in place.

"The occupants were previously working from home, where on-street parking was an issue.

"They have now collaborated and moved to a more suitable location.”

The council’s planning officers are now considering the application and have set a deadline date for a decision or recommendation of Thursday, April 3.
