Plans approved for former factory site redevelopment
Plans for the major redevelopment of a former cosmetics factory in Ashford have been approved by the local authority, with new facilities set to be built there including a grounds maintenance depot, a ready-mix concrete plant and 70,000 sq ft of industrial warehouse units, according to a local news report.
Gallagher Properties has secured planning permission to redevelop the former Rimmel factory site at Cobbs Wood Industrial Estate. The site of the former cosmetics factory has been derelict for almost a decade after it was destroyed by fire.
Construction work has already started on site and will be carried out in phases over the next couple of years.
Nick Yandle of Gallagher Properties said: "The decision sends a very positive message that Ashford Council is keen to promote employment opportunities and bring forward modern, new business premises in the town to support the growing local population.
"This site is well located and can now be redeveloped to meet market demand for construction materials and new commercial properties. Development opportunity in the Maidstone area is unfortunately impeded, so it makes sense for us to spread our wings and cover a wider area."
