EXPANSION plans are on the agenda for a Kelso-based industrial tank manufacturer.

Scottish Borders Council has received a planning application from Forbes Technologies Ltd on the Pinnaclehill industrial estate.

The company specialises in the production of industrial plastic tanks and bunded chemical storage tanks.

The application is for the construction of an extension forming a tank processing building to the south-west of the existing building.

The proposed building will allow processes which currently are carried out externally to be moved inside into a controlled environment not dependant on the weather.
