The move to build the petrol station, car wash and shop on the site of the old Newbridge Service Station off Tettenhall Road, Wolverhampton, was rejected by Wolverhampton Council last year over fears it would be too noisy for neighbours.
The applicant Nottingham-based Bushbury Ltd then appealed to the government’s planning inspector, which has the power to overrule the council, in a bid to get the decision overturned but was rejected again.
“I find that the proposed development would have a harmful effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties in regard to noise,” the inspector said in a report outlining the latest refusal.
