Bicton Parish Council objected to the service station proposal, saying:"The access from the Welshpool Road will cause congestion and danger. Traffic entering the site at busy times will back up on to Churncote island. If the North West Relief Road is built and the island is made a five-leg then this will be a nightmare.
Previous applications for a mixed-use development on the site, which included outline consent for offices and one for four starter units, have been refused in recent years due to concerns over old trees being cut down, the impact on local residents' access to amenities and compliance with the area's"masterplan".
