PLANS have been submitted to demolish several buildings in Yate and replace them with commercial units.

The plans submitted to South Gloucestershire Council recently would see ten new commercial units on an industrial estate to the west of Yate which is currently used by a company to store recovered vehicles.

Vehicle rescue and recovery operator Victoria Recovery has been trading for over 20 years and is based at the site in North Road, Yate.

If permission is granted, work on the plans would take place once the company no longer requires use of the site to store recovered vehicles when it moves premises. 
The buildings associated with Victoria Recovery would be demolished and replaced by 10 new commercial units. 

These units would be a workshop of between 141 and 148 square meters for rent as a production or manufacturing facility for small and medium-sized businesses.

"A total of 26 parking spaces are provided alongside two visitor spaces (including 1 disabled access space.
