Plans to demolish and replace a Duns company's workshops have been submitted.

J E Douglas & Sons Ltd, located at the Duns Industrial Estate, Station Road, is seeking to replace existing workshops with a new steel portal-framed workshop on the same site.

In the planning application the company noted the existing workshops are "no longer fit for purpose".

The proposal covers an area of 445 square metres.

The new workshop will continue to be used for general industry purposes.

The application does not include any changes to vehicle access from public roads or additional parking spaces.

The development does not require new water supply, drainage, or sustainable surface water drainage systems.

Waste will continue to be managed elsewhere on the site.

The site, which does not contain any trees, is not in a known flood-risk area and is not expected to increase flood risk.

The new workshop is to be classified under Class 5 (General Industry).
