A Worcester hairdresser is asking the council for permission to run her business from home.

Planning documents submitted to the city council say the woman wants to cut hair in her home in Blackpole Road between 9am and 5pm Tuesday-Saturday.

According to the application, no signage will be put up and all appointments will be booked in advance by phone or email, so there will always be a parking space on the driveway for each customer.

The document says that as working from home is not development in a planning sense, the application is for a lawful development certificate as opposed to a change of use.
