PLANS for a Burntwood petrol station to operate around the clock have been approved.

The application for the filling station at Morrisons on Milestone Way to be open 24 hours a day was given the green light by Lichfield District Council.

A previous planning condition meant it could only open from 6am to 10pm.

An application said:

> “The proposed extended hours will provide an essential service for emergency vehicles, shift workers, delivery drivers and motorists travelling outside standard hours.  
>  
> “The variation will improve convenience, support local employment and enhance the long-term viability of the site, consistent with similar petrol filling stations operating successfully on a 24-hour basis.”

The planning application added that steps would be taken to ensure the impact of the change on local residents would be minimised.

> “To further safeguard residential amenity, it is confirmed that no fuel deliveries, refuse collections or servicing activities will take place during night-time hours.  
>  
> “The existing forecourt lighting is designed to minimise light spill and glare, with downward facing luminaires and appropriate illumination levels.  
>  
> “Site management measures, including staff presence, CCTV and operational procedures, will ensure the site operates safely and responsibly at all times.”
