New Edinburgh hand car washing and valeting facility planned for West Granton Road car park next to pub

Ali Sharifi has submitted the application to the City of Edinburgh Council on behalf of Best Hand Washed Car Wash to turn a car park 20 metres north of 80E West Granton Road into this new facility.

The area of the site is approximately 500m2 and the development involves the construction of a new car wash and valeting facility within an existing car parking area. The new facility would include two covered valet bays, two uncovered wash bays and one storage cabin/ site office.

According to the submitted planning documents, the works for constructing the facility would not involve any change to the hard-standing area.

If the plans are approved it is estimated that the hand car washing and valeting business will operate from 9am until 6pm, with four full-time staff and three part-time staff members carrying out an estimated 40 car washes each day.
