The plan will include a new shop front, “upgraded” forecourt
with new pumps and car wash.
The firm – set to open a superstore in nearby Forest
Court – said there will be a “small” kiosk for
convenience goods and cash machine.
It comes amid concern from residents about the closure of
the petrol station and the lack of progress at Forest
Court .
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council gave permission for
the superstore 12 months ago and will make a decision on the petrol station
plan.
Sainsbury’s regional development executive Andrew Sanderson
said: “We are
pleased to be progressing with plans to reopen the petrol
station in Dorridge.
“We have submitted an application and would therefore ask
for residents’ patience whilst this process takes place.”
“We will continue to
keep residents updated of any further developments but hope to reopen in the
New Year.”
Former employees at the petrol station will be offered work,
the firm said.
