Garden centre extension plans approved

Two garden centres – Raemoir in Aberdeenshire and Beckworth Emporium in Northamptonshire – have both had plans for extensions approved.

 

Raemoir’s building will be constructed in a sarnafil flat roof with grey fascia, with the walls clad in thermawood, three small high-level timber windows and a glazed exit door.

 

A report by Aberdeenshire Council planners said: “The materials proposed are high quality and appropriate for the style of the existing building.

 

“The existing space serves its purpose but the addition of the extension will allow for a better flow, organisation and layout for the employees and members of the public.

 

“The extension is not in a prominent location, with no immediate neighbours and therefore will not cause a detrimental impact on neighbouring amenity.”

 

Meanwhile Beckworth Emporium has been granted planning permission to grow its business despite protests from nearby villagers.

 

The garden centre and food emporium was given permission by Wellingborough Council to knock down and renovate parts of its premises and build a new event building as well as new kitchen, store rooms, toilets and a restaurant extension.

 

Altogether 3,970sq m of existing buildings will be demolished and replaced with 4,300sq m of new facilities. Parking spaces will also be increased to 510.
