The building was associated with an adjacent abattoir but was very much underused for ancillary storage. The proposal was a wholesale conversion to allow it to be used as a base for a raw pet food business that had previously been successful on Dragons’s Den. We are delighted that this approval has come through quickly as this will allow the business to continue growing.
Latest commercial case studies:
Gaigers site
This site was the main warehouse and distribution premises for the Devizes based brewery Wadworth & Co Ltd, containing workshops and stabling for shire horses. RCC became involved in this site to act on behalf of the brewery who intended to reorganise their activities and operations whereby the main site would become redundant as a result.
Nursery
Sixpenny Nurseries have a small group of nurseries in Wiltshire. Their lease in Devizes was ending and new premise was a priority. RCC discussed possible options with them but a number of possible sites raised issues concerning the potential impact of the proposed use on traffic and residential amenity of an area.
Rowdy Cow
RCC was asked by the architects for this job (PKA Architects) to assist them by submitting a planning application for a farm diversification proposal. The proposal, on a dairy farm, was to establish a micro ice cream factory within an existing small agricultural building whilst then building an additional linked building to house a café.
