But Rita Raynor, who spoke on behalf of the objectors at a planning committee meeting of BCP Council, said most of the letters of assistance were from people outside the location who did not need to live with it.

Ms Saunders had previously described the studio as a 'modest and sustainable' little social enterprise. As the only worker, she insisted that she generally works about 20 hours a week, holding little classes of approximately eight individuals spread out throughout all 7 days.

Her planning application notes the studio's hours as 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 12pm on weekends.

The schedule on her website shows just one or more classes each day throughout the week, normally around 10am and once again at 6 or 7pm.

She also specified that the studio is fitted with air conditioning, suggesting doors and windows stay closed throughout sessions, and that music is not audible from outdoors. She also noted that music is not played throughout the classes themselves.

However, neighbours expressed grave concerns that the business hours could imply classes running 66 hours over the week, with 500 individuals and vehicles reoccuring.

Alan Forage, 83, a retired scientist who lives next door, said: 'We (the residents) are all fairly old and at our age we just desire solitude in a nice area, a peaceful life.

'In the summer when windows are open you hear groaning and loud music and talking when the pole dancing classes are on.'

Rita Raynor (visualized), who spoke on behalf of the objectors at a planning committee conference of BCP Council, said she was 'disappointed' with the committee's outcome, adding that it showed 'little factor to consider to the neighbourhood'

Neighbour John Thompson composed: 'We, the residents, have endured this invasion into a totally quiet domestic location with a devastating impact on our feature.

'We are individuals who have experienced the significant disruption from the noise from the pole dancing music and the result of the parking not only the roadway however also on our lawn edges which we maintain on a routine basis.'

Another couple living close by said that the pole dancing studio was having a negative influence on their 'mental health and wellbeing'.

Meanwhile, councillor Phipps slammed the '7 day a week operation' adding that there was 'no respite' for local citizens.

She added: 'These are not what I would call limited hours.

'This is a complete scale industrial service in a house. It was given in good faith as a garage by this council.'

The preparation committee agreed to introduce some conditions to secure neighbours' feature, with a condition for no magnified music throughout company usage.

The service usage will also be restricted to indoor sport and physical fitness. If business stops, the building should then revert back to normal use as a domestic garage.

But Ms Raynor said she was 'dissatisfied' with the committee's outcome, adding that it revealed 'little consideration to the neighbourhood'.

She added: 'A seven-day a week business, with 66 hours of operation is an excessive circumstance for neighbours to handle.

'We accept that people have to make a living, there's no personal animosity.

'We are not versus it due to the fact that it's pole dancing, if it had actually been anything else, like a children's celebration organization, we would feel the same.

'It's merely a suburb and we want to enjoy our residential or commercial properties without an industrial organization influencing on that.

'We would have like some limitations around classes and number of individuals, a bit more security and consideration for us as individuals.'

Ms Saunders stated that she had no more comment. However, she formerly shared that the continuous complaints had strained the relationship with her neighbours, even causing her ignoring them in the street.

Reviewing the tiresome neighbour row, she said: 'This has been going on for nearly two years. It's been a lot of tension and I have actually been actually down about it.

'A few of the important things neighbours stated were quite dreadful and shocking.

'I do not feel like I can wave and smile at people anymore, I feel intimidated. They (objectors) will stand and look at me when I leave your house.'
