A DISUSED industrial unit could be refurbished into a depot, office and storage facility for Twin Valley Homes, if plans are given the green light.

Unit 2 of The White Warehouse, Commercial Road, Darwen, could house up to 39 full-time employees of Twin Valley’s Environmental Services team.

The main area of the building would be mainly used to store machinery and equipment, and the Environmental Services team’s vehicles would drive in and out to load and unload.

The office and communal facilities would be located in the flat-roof extension to the side of the depot and storage facility, with reconfiguration of internal layout needed.

New doors, a new fire exit and windows would also be installed.

Parking would be provided at the front of the unit, with a specific area for skips used for the recycling of waste.

Blackburn with Darwen Council will make a decision in the next few weeks.
