Car wash venture for Whitletts Road in Ayr is approved

A new car wash venture has been given the green light for Whitletts Road in Ayr. The approval from the council allows for a change of use to a vacant piece of land at 169 Whitletts Road. This location has seen various planning applications over the years, with previous plans including a retail development with a drive-through coffee shop. The site, which used to be a petrol station, has now been earmarked for a car wash business.

The recent application was submitted to South Ayrshire Council for consideration by Edesign Architecture & Planning Ltd acting as agents and TDR Group Holdings Ltd as the applicant. The proposed plans include six covered car wash bays with a central storage container for equipment and materials. The development also involves the erection of a canopy, valet bays, and fencing on the site.

Council papers approving the project highlighted the potential for new job opportunities and noted the site’s historical use as a car wash and petrol station. The council acknowledged that the proposed car wash would not significantly impact traffic or noise levels in the area, considering its past commercial activities. The site’s location within a local centre and its previous uses were also factors in the approval decision.

The new car wash venture is expected to bring a fresh business opportunity to the area, providing a service that aligns with the site’s commercial history. The plans aim to revitalise the vacant land and contribute to the local economy by creating employment prospects. Residents and commuters in the Whitletts Road area can anticipate the arrival of this new car wash business soon.

Overall, the approval of the car wash venture on Whitletts Road signifies a positive step towards utilising underutilised land for new business ventures, potentially benefiting the local community and economy. It also demonstrates the council’s support for sustainable and practical developments that align with the area’s history and commercial needs.
