It’s a good question. Rayleigh is suddenly full of barber’s shops, and people are asking us why the District Council has allowed this.
The answer is that you don’t need planning permission to change an ordinary shop into a barber’s. So the District Council has no
control over this.
Barbers shops, Opticians and Estate Agents – we are in danger of becoming a service town and not such a nice place to shop!
