Planning and licensing for a sauna business

[DRAFT STUB: Phase 2 guide (website-copy/02_site-architecture.md). Outline only; write, legally check and approve before publishing.]

We can't promise planning permission. No one honestly can. This guide helps you go into those conversations prepared.

It depends on your council

How you run the sauna, where it sits and how long it stays all change what's needed. [NEED: researched summary, citing British Sauna Society operator guidance]

Fixed site or mobile

Moving the sauna between sites can reduce what's needed, but it doesn't remove the rules. Some councils have asked for permission after opening.

Licensing, insurance and risk assessment

[NEED: what applies to sauna businesses, and what guidance or documents Flux provides]

Questions to ask your council

[NEED: checklist]
