PLANS are seeking to turn an empty warehouse at Leigh Commerce Park into a storage and distribution facility for pharmaceutical supplies.

Proposals have been submitted on behalf of Alliance Healthcare to the council for the vacant warehouse at the site on Green Fold Way.

Plans aim to win permission to refit the existing facility to operate the facility for storage and distribution of pharmaceutical and medical supplies.

Plans include a new 2.4m-high perimeter fence, new staff parking, a canopy to create a covered loading area, an upgrade of existing loading bays and the installation of an acoustic fence.

Applicants also seek to fit out existing offices and install racking and associated equipment.

Standard consultation on plans is until August 23.
