A GORBALS business has applied for retrospective planning permission to use land as a car wash.

The car wash, situated in the Hutchesontown area of the Gorbals, said in planning papers they were unaware permission was needed to operate.

The business is located on McNeil Street and Ballater Street. The proposed hours of operation are 9am to 8pm seven days a week.

A decision is expected by March 16 and the last date for comments by members of the public is February 17.
