Melbourne Holdings are seeking planning consent from North Kesteven District Council to build a two storey extension to their existing block close to the entrance of their Heckington Industrial Estate off Station Road in Heckington.

There is predicted to be no increase in the 12 staff occupying the site but the extension design and materials would be in keeping with the rest of the building design, according to the documents, with space for two more desks downstairs and upstairs covering 67.2sqm.

There would also be space for eight extra car parking spaces.

There are extension plans for the office block on Heckington Industrial Estate, pictured centre, so it can be occupied by a subsidiary of Melbourne Holdings, while the parent company wants to relocate to a new head office in Sleaford.
