Laundrette plan for former Sheffield neighbourhood hardware shop site
New business now has planning permission for old retail site
A businessman has been told he can convert the former site of a Sheffield neighbourhood hardware shop into a laundrette.
Sheffield Council has given planning permission for Omer Hussain to make the change at what had previously been the Hand it to You shop, on Firth Park Road, Firth Park, and more recently a recruitment consultancy office.
He plans to open from 8am until 10pm.
He said: “The proposed development involves converting the existing retail unit into a launderette facility providing washing and drying services to local residents.
“No significant structural alterations to the building are proposed, and the external appearance will remain largely unchained aside from minor signage update.
“The change of use is intended to provide a service for residents particularly those without access to washing facilities. support the vitality and viability of the local high street and to make use of a unit that is currently vacant. “
