A business owner wants to purchase a premises above and to the side of an existing corner shop in Rode Heath for commercial use.

Clive Baty, of LEN Limited, Radway Green, has submitted a change of use application to move his small business into a premises located at 124, Sandbach Road, Rode Heath.

Most of the ground floor is currently occupied by a Bargain Booze off license shop and associated storeroom, but the first floor of 124, Sandbach Road, has been available for residential accommodation.

Mr Baty intends to the use the current residential rooms which are above and beside the shop for commercial use.

Including himself, Mr Baty, who runs a "very small" electronics design and assembly business has two full-time and one part-time staff members.

Mr Baty highlighted that the only adjacent property, 126 Sandbach Road, has commercial use both on the ground and first floors, with Lisa's Locks hair salon on the ground floor and a beauty treatment salon upstairs.

LEN Limited involves small scale high technology electronics research and development with associated minor industrial processes such as workstation assembly of circuit boards by hand then testing with bench mounted oscilloscope analysers.

Mr Baty stated in his application that none of the business's activities would create noise or other types of pollution.

An office for operational and administrative functions would also be on site.
