Builders Merchant Boys and Boden has applied to Powys County Council for building work which will allow its Pear Stairs business, based in Welshpool, to move to Newtown.
"The extension is an integral part of Boys & Boden’s plans to relocate their existing Pear Stairs factory from Welshpool to Newtown which will enable them to meet the UK wide growing demand for quality staircases. It wants to carry out a 'warehouse extension, racking, and all associated works' at the former Laura Ashley factory, at Unit A, Vastre Industrial Estate, Newtown.
