Plans to convert a home garage into a beauty salon which raised objections over customer parking has been approved.

Ellen Lloyd, founder of Ellen Elizabeth Beauty, applied to East Suffolk Council to convert her home garage, in Woodrush Road, into a space for her business.

Having proposed her plans to the council in September, her neighbours submitted written objections which have now been dismissed.

Ms Lloyd said in planning documents: "My business is seven years old, where I have always worked from my home.

"My business is built on professionalism, sustainability, and providing a calm environment for clients, and I take pride in running it in a way that is respectful of both my neighbours and my own home environment."

Fears were raised by neighbours who stated that the cars were parking on a blind bend to access the salon.

However, Ms Lloyd stated in her application that she only works with a single client at a time with clients parking on her drive or being dropped off.
