• A recent vote by the Auburn (Indiana) Plan Commission recommended striking a condition from the city’s Building, Planning and Development Department with regard to an amended development plan from Mike’s Car Wash, which will allow the development to move forward. The new 3,900-square-foot car wash will be located at 1501 W. 7th Street. The revision in the plan had to do with traffic management around the location.

• After several months of consideration, Perrysburg (Ohio) City Council recently approved a modification to zoning for car auto wash businesses. At a meeting earlier this month, the council voted in favor of amending the language, allowing new car washes to be constructed with a minimum of one-half mile radius from existing car washes.

   Making Waves Around the World  🌊 

• Northwich car wash at risk after refusal of planning permission: MSP Car Customs Ltd applied for planning permission a year ago from Cheshire West and Chester Council. However, its Middlewich Road car wash in Rudheath – a village in Chesire, England – opened before the council’s decision. A recent decision by the council has retroactively denied the car wash a permit, which in effect means it should close. Among the reasons for the retrospective refusal were disturbance to residents – due to noise from almost constant car washing – and the disruption to road users due to build-up of traffic. MSP Car Customs Ltd has six months in which to appeal against the ruling to the Planning Inspectorate.
