Apologies for not posting this sooner.   I attended the Planning Meeting on Thursday night, and the car wash was granted permission to continue operating until 2011, subject to the conditions mentioned in the report to the planning committee.

I think this is a good result - the operators said they were more than willing to improve the signage and fencing as they’d been asked to do, and stick to the hours of operation proposed.    I think a clean and tidy looking car wash is far preferable to the site falling derelict and into disrepair.   I know this was also the view of the majority of people who attended the public meeting last year.
