TCR32 Petrol Filling Stations
Planning permission will only be granted for new petrol filling stations or extensions to existing petrol filling stations where all the following criteria are met:
- The proposal would not harm the residential amenities of nearby properties;
- It would provide adequate servicing and access arrangements and would not be detrimental to highway safety;
- It would not appear visually intrusive in the street scene nor harm the established character of the area;
- Any retailing element would be ancillary to the main use as a petrol filling station and would not harm the vitality and viability of any nearby shopping centres.
