A NEW office block could be built on an industrial park in Shildon.
AKV Fabrication has applied to Sedgefield Borough Council for permission to build a two or three-storey office block, an access road and car park, on the Hackworth Industrial Park, in Byerley Road.
The applicants own premises next to the site and are marketing a new product which will require additional staff.
The new building would be used to house the extra staff and existing workers, with the present office converted into a canteen.
The council received a letter of objection signed by two residents and a petition with 18 signatures from the residents of South View.
Officers have recommended the plans for approval. A decision will be made at the council's planning meeting tomorrow.
