An outdoor furniture company has applied for permission to redevelop its depot on the outside of Kenilworth as the business eyes expansion.

Woodberry Outdoor Furniture has submitted plans to Warwick District Council to demolish its existing offices and warehouses on Bericote Road to make space for bigger storage space and new offices.

Run by the Barr family, the business supplies pubs, hotels, holiday parks, golf clubs, tourist attractions, universities, councils and schools.

"Due to neither its layout or construction, meeting modern day office space standards it is not considered worth the renovation costs of doing works to the office," the application said.

"The business has been successfully growing over the years and needs new larger and better quality office space to enable the business to continue to grow. 

"With the business expanding there is a need to provide additional storage space in order to accommodate the stock that is held on site. 

"At the moment the existing warehouse to the rear of the site is full which means stock that is awaiting to be distributed out to customers is stored outside. 

"This represents a security risk in terms of potential theft of the stock and degradation of quality while it is stored outside."

If approved, the plans would see 1,608 sq.m of new storage space created.
