Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council has given the firm
permission to refurbish the closed former Total garage in Grange
Road .
It said there will be a new shopfront, “upgraded” forecourt
and car wash and a “small Sainsbury’s kiosk offering convenience goods as well
as a new cash machine”.
It said former employees had worked at other Sainsbury’s
petrol stations in the area and will be offered jobs at the Dorridge station.
The firm is also set to redevelop Forest
Court for a major superstore.
Regional town planner Jaime Powell said: “We are delighted
with this approval and look forward to reopening the petrol station in
Dorridge.
“Now that we have received planning permission we will be
finalising the program of works and aim to have the petrol station open in the
spring.”
