Proposals to demolish a Sunderland petrol filling station to make way for an ‘Asda convenience store’ have been given the green light – despite concerns over highway safety and parking.
Sunderland City Council’s planning department recently validated plans for a site referred to as the “Grindon Broadway Service Station” in the Barnes ward.
The site includes a Shell petrol filling station and Spar convenience store and sits off The Broadway, or A183, one of the main roads into Sunderland.
