and live on Freeview channel 276
The plan is to refurbish a former Lucas/TRW building on its Widow Hill Road site and create a new high level link bridge connecting the facility to the adjacent Boohoo property.
Boohoo says the development would create space to expand and bring new jobs to the area, which will benefit local people and contribute to the economic growth of the area.

The site currently comprises existing service yard provision to the north and east of the site, with existing car parking to the west of the site. The south of the site is largely a patch of scrub land.
The proposal is for the existing building to be refurbished and reclad to provide a new storage warehouse facility with new Customer Service office provision and welfare facilities for all staff on site.
The scheme also includes a high level connecting bridge link to the existing warehouse to the east of the site, which is under Boohoo ownership.
