A former beauty and tanning salon in Bramley Shopping Centre could become a tattoo parlour, if proposals are approved by Leeds City Council planners.
Sheet Anchor Investments 2 Ltd, which took over Bramley Shopping Centre last year, has applied to the council to change the use of the former The Loft beauty and tanning salon to tattoo parlour.
The first-floor unit has been empty since last October and a planning statement accompanying the application said:
“The applicants have recently purchased the shopping centre and are looking at ongoing investment in the centre in order to improve occupancy level.”
The plans can be viewed in full here.
Very suspicious of this because Sheet Anchor Investments (shell company operating on behalf of the real owners of the Centre – LCP Properties) are applying for this change of use just like they did for the takeaway in the old RSPCA shop last November. That unit is still standing empty with no sign of life all these months after the permission was granted. Suspect this is an entirely speculative application and there’s no actual tenant lined up. Happy to be proved wrong but why no action on the takeaway front so many months down the line?
