A successful bathroom, kitchen and plumbing business is to expand its operation on the outskirts of a town centre with a new warehouse. Sheths Interiors Ltd has been granted planning permission for the new industrial unit next to its showroom in the Lower Audley Centre, Kent Street, Blackburn.
A report by planning officer Martin Kenny says: “The application site is located at the corner of Lower Audley Street and Kent Street, within the borough’s inner urban boundary. The northern portion of the site is occupied by a terrace of two-storey buildings, providing showroom and storage accommodation for a single site operator.“The southern portion of the site is given over to car parking and servicing areas, though a number of steel shipping containers occupy the South-East portion.
“The proposal provides for circa 847 square metres of ancillary warehouse accommodation for the existing site operator. The proposal seeks to replicate the general form and appearance of the existing buildings within the site.
