Plans to transform Sunderland tanning salon into takeaway

Former Pure Tan UK tanning salon on Sea Road is to become a takeaway.

This included changing the use of the business at 19 Sea Road, Sunderland, from its current use as a tanning salon to a hot food takeaway with new signage.

Floor plans include a customer waiting area, service counter, cooking and preparation area, general staff store, toilet facilities for staff and a bin store.

According to a planning application submitted to the council, a total of six full-time and six part-time employees are proposed.

Applicants say that waste from the business would initially be stored in kitchen bins internally before being emptied into larger commercial bins within a rear bin store area.

Proposed opening hours cover 8am-11pm daily.

A decision on the application is expected by mid November following a period of consultation up until October 11.
