A plan to build six homes on the site of a car sales and garage mechanic business in Flixton has been submitted to Trafford’s planning team. Applicant Yuan Cui, who lives in Sale, wants to put up the semi-detached houses on the 18,000 sq ft site between 62 and 64 Woodsend Road. If approved, the houses will be two-and-a-half storeys high, each with four bedrooms.
If approved, the building, which is in a poor condition, will be demolished. “All staff who will continue to work have secured new jobs at other similar businesses in the area but will continue at David Herd Motors Ltd until it closes," the statement says.“The business has operated from the existing building, a converted Victorian former candle works, since 1965 but to continue as a business would require significant investment as the building is no longer fit for purpose.
