Vale Garage forecourt plans are re-approved
PLANS to modernise forecourt facilities at the Vale Garage have been re-approved, with the owner saying he hoped to begin redevelopment work in the new year.
The new designs would see the demolition of the forecourt shop and it being rebuilt bigger, the addition of a new jet wash bay and a general refurbishment of the on-site facilities.
Owners Falles Properties' previous planning permission for the site upgrades had recently expired.
Chairman Helier Falle was pleased their designs had been re-approved.
'The garage has kind of outgrown itself – it is a small shop in a big area – and this is an opportunity to extend our retail offering and build the shop on a bigger footprint,' he said.
The Jersey-based company has owned the Vale Garage since 1969.
Mr Falle said they wanted to make full use of the service station's potential.
'We want to have a bigger premises and be able to offer more goods,' he said.
'We felt we could do a bit more to modernise our offering and have a bigger retail presence.'
