A pole dancer has won a planning battle with 'prudish' neighbours over her home studio following problems of 'groaning and loud noise'.

Samilou Saunders has been running the classes from her garage at her ₤ 700,000 cottage in the affluent suburb of Christchurch, Dorset, since the pandemic.

However, it dealt with the danger of closure after getting an increase of grievances from ratings of furious neighbours.

Claiming that the controversial service was 'ravaging' their lives due to parking problems, the disgruntled locals even grumbled about the noise of 'grunting and loud music' when the pole dancing classes were happening.

Local councillor Margaret Phipps concurred with the opposition - arguing that the service was 'inappropriate' for property neighbours.

But Ms Saunders' customers, said to consist of physicians, accountants, vets, nurses and school instructors, argued that it was 'generational predisposition' from mainly senior residents who did not like the pole dancing nature of business.

Now, a preparation committee at Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council has actually voted to authorize a retrospective planning application submitted by Ms Saunders to change making use of the garage from domestic to a mixed-use space.

The mother, who submitted the application in January, got the support of 7 councillors who voted in favour, while none voted against and 2 stayed away.

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

The schedule on her site reveals just one or 2 classes daily during the week, generally around 10am and again at 6 or 7pm.

She also mentioned that the studio is fitted with a/c, implying doors and windows stay closed during sessions, which music is not audible from outside. She also noted that music is not played throughout the classes themselves.

However, neighbours expressed serious issues that the business hours could suggest classes running 66 hours over the week, with 500 individuals and automobiles coming and going.

Alan Forage, 83, a retired researcher who lives next door, stated: 'We (the residents) are all reasonably old and at our age we simply want solitude in a great area, a quiet life.

Neighbour John Thompson composed: 'We, the locals, have born with this invasion into a totally quiet domestic area with a devastating effect on our feature.

'We are individuals who have experienced the significant disturbance from the noise from the pole dancing music and the effect of the parking not only the roadway but likewise on our grass brinks which we keep regularly.'

Another couple living nearby stated that the pole dancing studio was having an adverse impact on their 'psychological health and wellbeing'.

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

She included: 'These are not what I would call minimal hours.

'This is a complete scale industrial organization in a house. It was granted in great faith as a garage by this council.'

The planning committee agreed to present some conditions to safeguard neighbours' facility, with a condition for no magnified music during organization usage.

Business usage will also be limited to indoor sport and fitness. If business stops, the building should then revert back to typical usage as a domestic garage.

But Ms Raynor stated she was 'dissatisfied' with the committee's outcome, including that it showed 'little consideration to the area'.

She included: 'A seven-day a week service, with 66 hours of operation is an extreme situation for neighbours to handle.
