If you want to incorporate a company, you need to register with the CRO.

If you carry on a business under a name which is not your own, you need to register the name with the CRO.

However if you carry on business under your own name, you don't need to trouble the CRO at all.

Registering with the CRO, though, doesn't give anyone a right to carry on any business. It mainly enables the public to identify who is behind whatever business you are carrying on (which is why you don't need to register if you are trading under your own name), but the question of whether you are carrying it on lawfully is a differment matter.

Whether or not someone is registered with the CRO, they still need to comply with any licensing, regulatory, etc requirements relevant to their business. What requirements there are, and who polices them, depends on the business. Thus bannks have to get a banking licence from the Central Bank, doctors need to be registered with the Medical Council, Electricians need to register with RECI, and so on. Not all trades have detailed regulatory regimes; I suspect that dog groomers don't have to register with anyone.

They do need planning permission, though, if they carry on their trade from a premises. You can check with your local authority whether there is planning permission for carrying on a trade like dog grooming at the address in question, or whether there is an exemption in place under which planning permission is not needed.

If it is a Council estate there will be clause or covenant against carrying on a business.

If it is a privately owned estate, there is like to be a similar clause or covenant in the estate transfer or conveyance.

As already stated planning permissiion would be required - amount of traffic generated would be a major factor, epending on the layout of the estate.

Personally if I were a neighbour I could live with it, but some neighbours are very precious and strident.

I've never seen such a sugar coated insult. Well done good sir.

Electricians need to register with RECI

There is no such requirement unless they are connecting installations to the grid. An electrician not engaging in such work does not need to register with anyone.

Brilliant ! Surely proof that the Rapier is mightier than the Cudgel

K=Mac - I meant my remark about neighbours attitudes to be a comment rather than an insult.

In my time I have seen planning objections and legal actions based on very minor issues.

In my experience mediation of some sort is far better than rushing to the word processor.
