A local pet food manufacturer is seeking permission for a significant development at its Longford site.

The proposed plans include the construction of an extension consisting of new ground floor production facilities connecting to the existing production area. A new first floor extension is also planned for bringing the total production space to 1,786 square metres. Two standalone flat roofed electrical switch room buildings are also included in plans as is new car parking areas with EV charging and bicycle storage facilities.
