A NEW beauty salon is set to be opened in Brighton Hill after planning officers at the borough council gave the go-ahead to the scheme.

Karla Cornwall applied to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council in May for permission to change the use of a unit in a shared building in Stanford Road, Brighton Hill in order to open a beauty salon.

The building already contains a One Stop shop and a dental surgery on the first floor but the remainder of the first floor is currently vacant.

Planning officers approved the proposed scheme on July 29.
