It operated as a ‘spa, massage and sauna’ known as Daniel House for several years, its website offering deluxe suites and a Saturday swingers club.
Following this, the site became home to Pirts Sauna and Ginnaree Traditional Thai Massage.
The site’s new design meets standards set out in the council’s Local Plan, with sufficient room sizes and a garden to the rear.
Planning officers therefore approved the application, ruling that it provides a satisfactory standard for occupiers and a “less intensive” development than the previous use.
