Plans to build a new a hand car wash, tyre fitting garage and electric car charging station in Carlton have been approved by council planners.
An application received by Gedling Borough Council from Mr Ian Storm of Storm Design, Beeston acting as agent on behalf of NG7 LTD. for the proposed construction of a hand car wash, tyre fitting garage and electric car charging station at 343 Westdale Lane West, Mapperley, NG3 6EW has been given the green light.
The approved application grants conditional permission to operate seven days per week as follows: opening hours – 8.00am – 6.00pm Mon – Sat and 9.00am – 4.00pm on Sunday.
A Design and Access (D & A) statement provided in support of the full planning application states that the site is adjacent a small independent builders merchants and Westdale Junior School on the opposite side of Westdale Lane.
It said Westdale Lane ‘is a busy link road through a mainly residential location interspersed with occasional commercial and retail units.’
The D & A statement also stated that the applicant has identified a strong demand for a modern high-quality car washing service with fully trained and uniformed staff. It would be supported with a tyre retailing facility and public electrical vehicle charging facility.
A single storey building incorporating reception, office and tyre changing areas is to be retained and reclad. This is also reflected in the planning application which states that the existing gross internal floorspace of 204sq.m is equivalent to the total gross new internal floorspace proposed.
It is also proposed that the site will be fenced in using 3m High powder coated steel framed 12mm toughened glass panels with signage detailing to the upper levels with vehicular access from Westdale Lane only with egress from the site using the Ferndale Avenue exit only. The 3M high Glass screens will provide acoustic protection to the adjacent properties.
Public electric charging facilities will be positioned to the rear of the building away from the jet washing facility.
