Crosspool petrol station: to be demolished and replaced with a retail development?
Crosspool’s Jet petrol station would be demolished and replaced with a retail development if a new planning application for the site is approved.
Application 14/01275/FUL would see the building of a double-storey A1-class retail unit with parking for ten cars. It would extend to 354 square meters gross internal area.
No occupier for the unit has been announced, but the application states that discussions with several parties are ongoing and that “it is anticipated that it will attract a general convenience store operator selling everyday items such as groceries, alcoholic and soft drinks, tobacco, and newspapers.”
