Plans have been put forward to allow an Oswestry petrol station to run for 24 hours a day.

An application has been submitted to make Morrison’s on Shrewsbury Road a 24-hour station.

Currently, the petrol station at the site has opening hours of 6am to 11pm.

In the application, Morrisons have argued that as no restriction had previously been enforced by Shropshire Council the change should be granted.

It argues: “In the absence of planning applications recorded by the local planning authority the applicant applies for a Certificate of Lawful Development, certifying that proposed 24-hour opening is lawful.

“The applicant submits there is no evidence to establish that opening hours have been restricted in the process of granting planning permission for the service station.”
