In addition, the applicant is seeking permission for associated site works (including the provision of a new drive-thru lane, signage, and relocation of staff parking spaces), along with the construction of a new car wash recycling plant house, new brush wash slab and all associated drainage works and services.
The date received on the application is listed as October 22 last.
The submission-by and due dates are listed as November 25, 2025 and December 16, 2025.
