The dominatrix who is battling for planning permission for her sex fetish club has vowed – ‘I’m not going down without a fight’.

Lorraine White, known as Princess Lucina to her clients, has submitted a planning application to Stockport Council for her business, at Vauxhall Industrial Estate, Reddish.

She had been using the unit, off Greg Street, for a sex fetish club but is now not allowed to operate unless her retrospective application is approved.

It seeks to formally change the use of the premises from a warehouse to a place of ‘photography and mild fetish play’.

Her plans have provoked a large response on Twitter and internet sites.

Replying to some comments and the possibility of her planning application being refused Miss White tweeted: “I’m not going down without a fight!”

But many of the online responses have been positive or tongue in cheek.

Sarah Feigan said: “What’s the problem? It’s all legit and she pays her taxes just like anyone else.”

Ray Duxbury said: “I see she asked for permission. A true dominatrix would have demanded it.”

Mark Percival said: “Maybe they should put a bit more effort in to closing down terrorist bomb factories and leave the tiny things that people don’t mind alone.”

According to the council’s website there has been one comment as part of public consultation so far – and that is in favour.

A target date for deciding on the application is December 31.

A council spokesman said: “The council is satisfied the unit is currently being used for purposes connected to the adult entertainment industry.

“Should the application be refused the matter will be reviewed and we will decide on the appropriate next course of action.”
