NEW proposals have been drawn up seeking permission for a car sales and repair centre and two light industrial units.

Plans have been sent to the council for land to the south of Polar Ford at Scorecross and Sullivans Way in Peasley Cross.

A design and access statement, prepared by planning agents Revival Architecture on behalf of applicants Prescot Self Drive, says the "proposal is for the construction of a new build car sales, rental and repair centre and two. Light Industrial units".

It adds the "main building contains a two-storey office building with customer areas to the ground floor and staff office space to the first floor".

Plans state the application is in keeping with a previously approved bid for the site with "minor changes to the site layout for the introduction of a further two Light industrial units, which complement the main PSD building".

The statement adds: "There have also been some internal changes to the original main building layout to help with efficiency and functionality of the proposal.

"However, they do not change the use or character of the scheme. The changes have arisen following a client review of their business needs over the last few years and changing economic climate within the motor industry.

"The materials and design approach to the proposal have stayed in keeping with previously approved schemes; along with the scale and height of the buildings and general site layout, which includes similar parking spaces to the previous schemes in line with our client’s business model".

Plans add: "The scheme still looks to provide an attractive commercial proposal that will sit well in the surrounding context.

"The spacious thought-out design provides highly functional buildings improving the efficiency of the end users.

"The proposal represents a viable opportunity to develop a vacant site for a suitable use".
