High Wycombe car wash applicant seeks retrospective planning permission

Summarised from Bucks Free Press's report · Updated 20 Oct, 16:38 · Archive

A High Wycombe man has applied for retrospective planning permission after installing buildings and canopies for a car wash without realising permission was required.

A High Wycombe man has submitted a planning application to Buckinghamshire Council to regularise a car wash development on Hughenden Road. According to planning documents, the site has already been cleared, concrete hardstanding laid and prefabricated units for a waiting area and storage installed, alongside canopies covering the proposed washing area. The applicant's planning agent stated that the applicant had not realised planning permission was required for these works.

The hand car wash would operate from 8am to 6pm, seven days a week, on a first-come, first-served basis, with each wash taking approximately fifteen minutes. The site was previously an open yard, partly covered by hardstanding and partly overgrown, which had been used informally for van parking.
