A TWO-storey extension at Wolfenden Builders Merchants, Colne Road, Kelbrook will be considered by the West Craven committee on January 8.

Planning officers recommend approval saying the site on the outskirts of the village is allocated as an essential employment area and access to Colne Road for the business already exists.

The company has applied to demolish an existing single storey office building and modify the building currently used as a builders merchants.

The plan is for the existing 50-metre building to be extended towards the main entrance by another seven metres and for it to include office space, industrial use and builders merchants.

The Environment Agency has no objection.
