Yahoo Finance Green light for agricultural firm's expansion plan
An agricultural firm is set to expand its base in Shrewsbury after plans for a new warehouse were approved.
Shropshire Council gave the go-ahead to outline proposals for the Wynnstay Group’s new building and storage area at Astley Park.
The business said the expansion would allow its arable division to grow in line with national demand.
A working hours condition has been implemented, to restrict operations to between 07:30 and 18:00 BST Monday to Friday, and 08:00 until 13:00 BST on Saturday.
"The new building and alterations proposed will further enhance the successful business of Wynnstay’s Arable division at Astley Park and create more employment opportunities for local people,” the firm said in a supporting statement to the authority.
The expansion will provide economic, environmental, and social benefits, while creating new employment opportunities, it added.
