Titan Self Storage has applied for planning permission for two three-storey extensions at its Heathcote Industrial Estate site, which could increase its floor space by at least 70 per cent.

Completed by contractor Allworks, and in line with an RSPB report, the project will see seating areas and landscaping built for residents living nearby.
