A nail salon could open at a shopping centre in Chineham if plans are approved by the council.

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council received an application on December 19 to replace the shopfront on Unit 1 at Chineham Shopping Centre, next to Tesco.

If approved, the salon would be operated by XC Nail & Spa, filling up the unit which has been left vacant since February 2018, when the NatWest bank closed down.

The application includes proposals to replace the current shopfront, which is described as a "largely blank facade," with a fully glazed shopfront and centrally positioned double doors.

A CGI image submitted to the borough council shows the proposed interior of the nail salon, with modern furnishings in grey and white.

XC Nail & Spa offers a variety of nail services, including acrylics and BIAB. 

A notice was posted outside the unit on January 5.

The plans state that the new shopfront would be in keeping with the surrounding shopfronts within the centre.

According to planning documents, the alterations would provide a number of benefits, as it would facilitate the introduction of a new retailer into the centre, would return an existing long-term vacant building into use and would "increase the active frontage within the centre."
