Lok’n’Store plans to redevelop part of the site with a new state-of-the-art self-store for relocation of their current premises in nearby Hawthorn Road.
Flude Director, Andrew Halfacree, said: “The prominent roadside position of the property in an established retail and trade location added to its appeal.
