Planning approval has been given to Euro Garages for the development of a new filling station and convenience store on green belt land, on Wrexham Road to the north of Chester and in close proximity to Chester Business Park.

The permission for the development follows the refusal of two previous applications and an unsuccessful planning appeal by the previous owner. Following negotiations, the council accepted that the Euro Garages proposals would create a quality design, which would not impact on the surrounding green belt. Construction work is due to start shortly.
