Tilemaster proposes 150,000 sq ft Lancashire factory
The adhesives manufacturer has applied to redevelop a chunk of HBD Barnfield’s 62-acre site east of Roman Way Industrial Estate.
Tilemaster Adhesives’ proposed 150,000 sq ft facility is the first scheme to come forward as part of a wider 800,000 sq ft masterplan. HBD Barnfield lodged outline plans for 12 sheds on the site last year.
Tilemaster wants to create a 24,000 sq ft production tower, a 100,000 sq ft high intensity storage facility, and 21,000 sq ft of offices on 6.6 acres of the site. The factory will have a maximum height of 36 metres.
The scheme “facilitates the bespoke needs of Tilemaster and is a tailored development to relocate existing operations from elsewhere in the borough” according to a planning statement prepared by WSP.
Tilemaster is currently based on Tomlinson Road in Leyland and will relocate to Roman Way, which is around 10 miles north.
“The development of this site is a key priority for the applicant. The site is deliverable, and it is programmed to be operational by summer 2025” the planning statement adds.
Campbell Driver Partnership is leading on design and TPM on landscapes. WSP is advising on planning.
