Former Horsham hair salon to be demolished

BB’s hair salon, in Rushams Road, Horsham, which closed in January, sits directly in front of number 14.

With the owners unable to find a suitable use for the ‘quite unattractive’ building, they have decided a front garden would look much nicer.

A statement issued with the application said: “The garden will allow rainwater to be absorbed instead of run-off to the drains.

“Planting and landscaping will make the property much more attractive, both from the road and from our house.”

To view the application, log on to www.horsham.gov.uk/planning and search for DC/20/0830.
