Planners give the go-ahead to Isleport Business Park expansion

Yeo Valley District planners have this week given the go-ahead to a thriving Burnham-On-Sea food company to expand its premises.

Isleport Foods is to substantially extend its premises at Isleport Business Park, on the outskirts of Burnham, extending it northwards towards the Yeo Valley buildings (pictured), thereby doubling the floor area.

The new area will be used to increase food production at the booming centre.

Three residents at the nearby Lakeside development had expressed concerns that the centre is close to residential properties, with 12 loading bays being 300 metres from the rear of one house. Residents said they have to suffer the noise of lorries being loaded at all hours.

But district councillors backed the plans, saying they welcome the additional employment in the area. Delegated permission was given, subject to the views of Environmenal Health officers.
