Solihull Council has issued an enforcement notice on land to the rear of the Chester Arms in Chester Road, Castle Bromwich after the land owners allowed it to be used a hand car wash and valeting service without planning permission.
The land had been used as a car park for the pub, but without planning permission it was allowed to be used for a car cleaning business.
There was also a moveable portakabin on the land, which was being used as a site office, and an open-sided shelter under which the vehicle washing took place.
The Council issued the notice to the land owners on 16 December.
The notice requires the owners to;
1) Remove the portakabin, open-sided shelter and/or all plant andmaterials used in connection with the use to wash cars and other motorvehicles.
2) Cease the use of the land as a motor vehicle wash and/or valet service business.
The notice takes effect on 31 January 2010 and requires the owners to carry out the work within one month from that date, unless an appeal ismade beforehand.
