A statement prepared on behalf of the company, Northern Accident Repair Centre, reads: “The existing vehicle repair centre is unsightly and is no longer efficiently fit for purpose.

“By developing part of the site for housing, the land owner will be able to fund a new purpose-built repair centre which will retain local employment.”

Much of the company’s land is taken up by car parking, with the plans showing space for 17 two-bedroom and nine three-bedroom semi-detached houses with the new repair centre on the west side of the site.
