Guru Midland Motors on Vicarage Road had been operating without planning permission on the residential street. Owner Harjit Singh appealed against a notice served by Dudley Council which ordered him to stop operating - but his appeal has been thrown out by the planning inspector. The inspector has backed the council and upheld its enforcement notice, ordering Mr Singh to stop trading and clear the site by February 12. The unit used to be a storage facility for the charity Loaves n Fishes. Councillor Hilary Bills said the repair firm caused a lot of upset to the residents in the road owing to the extra vehicles being stored on the road, late night deliveries of vehicles, noise, smell, working after hours and poor maintenance of the yard which was a blot on the landscape.
