A concrete factory could be built at Trinidad Works, Haygrove Lane, Wanstrow. The site is currently used for HGV storage, and also has areas of previously developed land, unproductive scrubland and woodland.

The planning application is asking for permission to build a main factory building, as well as a laydown area, ancillary buildings and parking space for 220 cars.

The new factory could also create around 300 jobs.
