Plans for new car wash business in Washington which could create 10 jobs
Earlier in August, Sunderland City Council’s planning department validated an application for land at Eddison Road, Swan Industrial Estate.
This included the erection of a hand car wash and associated works to create a staff office, a plant and a customer waiting room.

The applicant added that all equipment used would emit “very low levels of noise” and that the development would create a safe environment for vehicles and pedestrians.
A planning statement from the applicant reads: “The proposed layout has been designed in order to maximise site usage and enable a safe environment for vehicular and pedestrian access.
“There is adequate space for the proposal [which] brings a currently unused site into use.

“The introduction of the car wash will [also] create new and sustainable economic growth in the area; it will have a positive impact on local employment creating both full and part-time work.”
According to the submitted planning application, a total of 10 jobs are proposed at the car wash business – with two full-time employees and eight part-time roles.
