A RETROSPECTIVE call to let a Pembrokeshire beauty salon stay on the site of a former edge-of-town printing business has been conditionally approved by county planners.

In an application to Pembrokeshire County Council, Sarah Collins of SC Skin Care Ltd, sought retrospective permission for the change of use from shop to a beauty clinic at 60A, Cartlett, Haverfordwest.

No adverse comments around the proposals were made by Haverfordwest Town Council.

An officer report recommending approval said Mobad, the former printing business, operated between 9 and 5pm, Monday to Friday; the change of use seeking to open 9am-7pm Monday-Saturday, with no external alterations proposed.

It said the application was in retrospect as the change of use happened back in March, the clinic accommodating three treatment spaces, with one full time member of staff, and that: “The proposal would not result in any unacceptable impacts upon the character or appearance of the area.”
