The expansion of the BP service station in Gordon Rd, Mosgiel, has been given the go-ahead despite the concerns of neighbours. In a written decision released on Friday, a Dunedin City Council hearings committee announced it would grant consent for the expansion. The decision meant the existing service station in Gordon Rd would be demolished and a new facility built, spreading on to a neighbouring site at 70 Gordon Rd. However, in its written decision, the committee concluded the new facility would bring positive benefits for Mosgiel, and any adverse effects could be managed. The service station would be redeveloped in a "well established mix" of commercial and residential activities on a main transport route, and where a service station had been "for many decades", it said.
