Big M motor spares

[Milo]

Hi, I heard a rumour that the renovation to Big M Motor Spares and the flats above will include a tyre yard out the back (access via Landells Rd). I'm a resident of Landells Road and a couple of years ago (yes the building work has been going on that long!), I asked the buidling site manager what the plans were, he said gardens out back with some car-parking. Anyone know what is really going on there?

Thanks.

IS that going to open as a motor spares place again? I do hope so, I got a garage 100yds from there, then it promptly shut! Was gutted!

Not heard anything, but I think I saw this weekend that there is a big extension being built out back.

There is still plenty of space left after the extension and we were left wondering what they intend doing with that space.

I can't really imagine the devloper putting gardens there unless they really can't get out of it - most developers try to get every inch of the land generating money.

Parking would be good for the flats above the shops - but there looks to be much more space than a developer would want to devote to solely parking.

If you know the address of the motor palce, ring up the council (0207 525 2000) and ask to be put through to the Planning Dept. They are always very helpful telling the public what applications have been put in.

Even better you can look online - no need to call...

Was it not meant to be a selection of shop outlet space thingys?
