Pharmaceutical company Sanofi’s redevelopment plans for its site in Holmes Chapel have been approved by Cheshire East Council, which will see extensions built on several of its buildings to allow for an increase in staff numbers.
The council signed off the scheme at its Southern planning committee meeting on Wednesday 25 November. Sanofi proposed extensions to manufacturing, warehouse and laboratory buildings, the relocation of service buildings, and the construction of a 30,000 sq ft reception area and office.
There are currently more than 300 staff based in the Holmes Chapel campus. The company’s masterplan for the complex also includes changes to staff parking and roads around the site.
Sanofi was advised by HOW Planning.
On Wednesday’s meeting council was due to approve the development of the £11m Crewe Engineering & Design University Technical College, but the decision was delegated to the head of planning.
