Garden centre group Blue Diamond wants to site a hand car washing and valet business on land at Newbridge Nurseries, Broadbridge Heath.

It is currently seeking planning approval from Horsham District Council for a log-cabin style office and two covered car wash areas on an overflow car park at the garden centre.

But some people living nearby are concerned that the seven-day-a-week business will lead to increased noise and traffic in the area.

Several residents are raising objections saying they fear that there could be traffic tailbacks from the car park onto an adjoining dual carriageway.

They point out that there is already a car wash at the nearby Tesco store.
