Councillors have unanimously approved plans to build 28 new units on a Northumberland industrial estate, describing the move as a "no brainer".
The proposals will see 28 industrial units built in a three-phase development, along with an "integral circulation road" and secondary site access point on what is currently scrub land within the North Nelson Industrial Estate in Cramlington.
The three phases will consist of six two-storey industrial units and the circulation road, followed by a further four two-storey industrial units and finally 18 single storey units. All told, the development will provide a combined floor space of almost 3,500m2.
