DEVELOPERS have applied for planning permission to build a large £100m industrial estate next to Heighington.
Plans for the 100-acre site have been submitted to Darlington Borough Council.
London-based Merchant Place hopes to build four distribution warehouses, with offices and parking spaces on empty farmland in Heighington Lane.
Heighington Parish Council is expected to enter a formal objection.
