Rushcliffe Borough Council has approved plans for an extension to the Esso petrol station on Loughborough Road.
The single story extension will allow them to introduce a bakery, an extra toilet and a storeroom, whilst creating more floor space for the retail side of the business. There’ll also be 5 extra car parking spaces behind the premises. There’s no proposal to increase the operating hours.
Extra landscaping has been agreed to try to minimise any ongoing disruption to nearby residents who are unhappy with the plans. Nearby residents are currently subjected to anti-social behaviour by some of the site’s less considerate customers and out of hours visitors, and also have to regularly remove discarded food and drinks packaging from their properties – despite Esso providing sufficient bins.
