Search the Public Notice PortalA warehouse expansion is set to create new jobs and boost storage capacity at an Oswestry company.
Cold Move Ltd, a food storage and distribution company, has applied for full planning permission to build a 2,737-square-metre warehouse extension at its site on Maes Y Clawdd, Maesbury Road Industrial Estate in Oswestry.
The scheme would see an existing commercial building demolished and replaced with a modern, energy-efficient facility designed to increase pallet storage and streamline operations.
In its application, Cold Move said the expansion would support the UK’s food supply chain by enhancing chilled, frozen, and ambient storage capacity.

The plans include six additional HGV parking bays, a larger covered cycle shelter with space for 14 bicycles, and an extra accessible parking space.
Vehicle access from Maes Y Clawdd would remain unchanged.
The company’s Design and Access Statement said the development would replace temporary uses on part of the site, including a firewood business and a groundworks contractor, bringing the whole site back under one operation.
Peak staffing is expected to rise from 46 to 53 employees, with seven new jobs planned in warehouse and customer service roles.
The application states that the increase in HGV movements would be minor and could be accommodated by the surrounding road network.
It also notes that the closure of existing sublet businesses would help offset some vehicle traffic.

Environmental plans include measures to protect the nearby Oswestry Brook, retain existing trees and hedgerows, and improve biodiversity through new native planting.
Surface water from the expanded site would be managed through on-site attenuation and controlled discharge systems.
The extension would be finished in blue and grey insulated cladding panels with red detailing, matching the existing warehouse buildings.
Grant Teasdale, planning agent on behalf of Cold Move Ltd, said: "The proposed B8 warehouse extension represents a logical, highly sustainable, and operationally vital expansion of an established local business on its long-term operational base.
"The proposal consolidates the site by replacing obsolete structures and temporary, non-ancillary commercial uses with a single, high-specification warehouse development."
A decision from Shropshire Council is expected by the start of February 2027.
