PLANS have been revealed to open a classic car garage at a Christchurch industrial estate.

The proposals by New Forest Classic Cars Ltd for the site on Airfield Road have been submitted to Christchurch Borough Council's planning department.

Permission is sought to change the use of the premises so a workshop can operate and trade.

The application form says the garage will be involved in the "renovation, repair and maintenance of classic cars, including MOT and servicing".

A show room and external display area for vehicles is also featured in the scheme.

The site currently has parking spaces for 62 cars and the applicants are hoping to add a further 28 spaces.

New Forest Classic Cars Ltd operates an existing garage at Beaulieu.
