The Planning committee is being recommended today to approve the erection of a new garage and showroom for Audi cars in York.

Audi York comprises a single storey profile steel clad unit dating to the 1980s lying in close proximity to a number of other car dealerships at the eastern edge of the Clifton Moor Business Park.

Planning permission is being sought for the redevelopment of the site to provide expanded sales and office space and to facilitate the relocation of servicing and maintenance functions to the adjacent former DHL site.

Planning permission has already been granted for the relocation of the service functions.
