Personally, I'd not buy it. People are inconsiderate. Some will leave radios blaring, honk horns, rev cars, shout at each other across the forecourt, not to mention the noisy delivery/petrol lorries etc turning up at all times - so I suppose it depends how close is close.
Am sure many would, but not me.
Eventually it was demolished and then, some years later, flats were built in its place. The flats were more or a nuisance due to them being built with insufficient parking parking spaces for the residents, causing problems all along the street.
But that's probably due to the fact that I work there and who can say no to a 20 second door to door commute
As for the risk of pollution from spills, all of the drains and run-offs go nowhere near the public watercourse or adjacent land. Anything that goes down them is separated and treated individually.
That is what I thought...but did not explain my reasoning, thank you
