'These units will provide modern and flexible employment facilities that will not only add to the employment opportunities in the area but to also enhance the overall appearance of the estate,' a statement submitted with the planning application says.

Warehouse space totalling 38,500sqft is proposed across two buildings. Each will have car parking as well as first floor office facilities.

The statement adds: 'These units will provide modern and flexible employment facilities that will not only add to the employment opportunities in the area but to also enhance the overall appearance of the estate.'

It says its designs would 'provide attractively-designed buildings appropriate to the site location and anticipated use'.
