The site consists of an existing workshop and large yard area. The workshop is circa 650 sq m (7,000 sq ft) and a separate parts store of circa 65 sq m (700 sq ft). Both of these are located to the south east of the site - in the proposed pre-app it is intended that these will be demolished. In addition there is a large yard area that is currently used for storage of cars and building material. Currently there is a right of way for a fuel tanker to come through the site, however this is being amended through a variation of the lease on the petrol station.
