Plans to turn plant nursery into Fylde coast car centre are revealed

Retrospective plans to turn a former Fylde coast plant nursery into a car storage and valeting business have been revealed.

Brookhouse Nurseries, off Garstang Road in Bilsborrow, submitted the plans to Wyre Borough Council last week.

The site was originally run as a commercial nursery, featuring a number of greenhouses, sheds and barns. Motor Trust UK now leases the land from applicant WC Thornton & Son Ltd and uses the land solely for the outdoor storage of motor vehicles.

Now, plans have been submitted to Wyre Borough Council asking permission to convert one of the site’s existing sheds into a commercial car valeting centre. Additionally, the applicant has suggested a defined wash bay inside the commercial building and on the apron immediately outside it, to help prevent dirty water from running into nearby waterways.

There would be no need to construct any additional buildings or structures to help facilitate the application, which will now be decided upon by Wyre Borough Council.
