Plans for new barber shop pod in Peterborough

The pod would be located at the rear of 29-33 South Street in Stanground.

The rear of the buildings on the street included an existing car park and is located close to the Head 2 Head barber shop.

The application stated that: “The application site is located within the village of Stanground and falls within the Conservation Area. The proposal has no detrimental impact on the Conservation Area, and cannot be seen from South Street which is identified to be within the important Stanground Conservation Area.

“South Street is characterised by a variety of building styles, some with offstreet parking. The design of the barber shop pod is appropriate to the site, and generally better than those in the area. The proposal would not detract from the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would improve natural surveillance within the street scene.”

The application will now be decided by Peterborough City Council and can be viewed on its planning portal using reference 25/01427/FUL.
