Description

Use of one room of existing dwelling (Class C3) as an ancillary office space for taxi hire. The property will continue to be used primarily as a single private residential dwelling. The business activity will be limited to administrative functions only, including receiving and managing bookings via telephone and email. No members of the public will attend the premises. There will be no physical signage, no external alterations, and no change to the residential appearance of the property. No staff will be employed at the premises. The business will be operated solely by the applicant. No machinery or equipment will be installed other than standard home office equipment (computer and telephone). The use will not generate any additional traffic, noise, or disturbance to neighbours. All bookings will be managed remotely. The administrative activity may take place at flexible hours, depending on booking requirements, but without any impact on the residential character of the property.
