Rossendale Council,Daybreakers

Melba Swintexis one of Rossdendale's largest employers

One of Rossendale’s largest employers has submitted a planning application to expand the business. Melba Swintex has put forward the proposal to Rossendale Borough Council which seeks permission to erect a satellite warehouse to serve its existing Stubbins factory.

Melba Swintex’s Purchasing Director, Shaun Todd, explained: “These are very exciting times for Melba Swintex. Business is booming, with scope to grow and create more jobs, but our current headquarters at Stubbins is jam-packed and at full capacity, with limited scope to expand. The planning application has been the subject of ongoing pre-application discussions with Rossendale Council and other parties.

“Rossendale Council’s Planning and Economic Development teams have worked proactively and positively with us, and that has helped to shape the scheme into something I think Rossendale will be proud of.

“The building’s external appearance inevitably reflects its warehouse use, but is to be clad in neutral-toned, insulated metal panels, with a green camouflage effect to help break up its massing. This is intended to create the impression of two smaller buildings on either side, allowing its central section to blend into the background, in turn reducing its visual impact.
