Goods to be auctioned would include antiques, collectables and household items, ranging from furniture to toys, jewellery and artwork.
The application says there would be five staff on auction days, with two to three members of staff at the site for the rest of the week.
A sign to advertise the auction house would be no bigger than eight square metres, the applicant said.
