Plans have been lodged with City of York Council to build a second car wash at the Inner Space Station petrol station on Hull Road.

Plans have been lodged with City of York Council to build a new car wash at the Inner Space Station petrol station on Hull Road. A garage next to the site's existing car wash would be demolished to make way for the new facility, which would border an adjacent house.

The Inner Space Station is known for the sci-fi characters adorning its roof and shop entrance, including Daleks, Cybermen and stormtroopers. The new car wash would replicate the existing one at the service station. The application states that an additional car wash would help cut queues and bring commercial benefits to sustain the business.

The plans also include replacing two plant rooms associated with the current car wash operation by bringing them together into one unit. A 2.4 metre-high acoustic fence is set to be built along the western boundary of the site, with entry and exit shutters planned on both the current and new car wash to reduce noise. The application states the proposals would deliver reduced noise levels for residents of adjacent properties and reduce queuing at the car wash operation.
