A TEXTILE dyeing and finishing company is hoping to expand its factory in Rosegrove, Burnley, to create about 25 jobs.

Cloverbrook, at Peel Mill, dyes and finishes fabric which is knitted at Riverside Knitting at Lune Street, Padiham.

The firm is set to be given outline permission for its plan to build a 7,500 square metre factory and warehouse on land next to Peel Mill on Smallshaw Lane and Gannow Lane.

One resident has objected that the increase in traffic would be a hazard to children. The highway authority has no objections provided a turning head is created at the end of Smallshaw Lane.

The company had an application for an 8,000 square metre factory and warehouse turned down earlier this year. An appeal will be heard in January.
