Search the Public Notice PortalA manufacturing company has secured the green light from Renfrewshire Council to expand its Inchinnan headquarters amid “increasing demand” for its product.
A bid for planning permission, lodged by Bray Controls (UK), for a warehouse extension, reconfigured service yard and extra parking at its Fountain Crescent site has been granted, subject to conditions.
The works will also see the facility reorganised to create more efficient assembly, testing, dispatch and office areas as well as the installation of a new heating system.
That’s according to a supporting statement, prepared by agent Entasis Architects LLP. It said: “Bray Controls (UK) is an international manufacturer and distributor of flow control and automation products and accessories.
“Their UK headquarters is based in Inchinnan, a building they have owned and operated from since 1996.
“Increasing demand for their product has led to the need to expand this facility, extending the building and reworking the existing accommodation, as well as investing in additional staff.”

The current car parking provision will grow from 61 to 73 spaces, while the total number of staff using the site is likely to increase from approximately 80 to 90.
The extension will be built to “modern construction standards” with efficient heating and ventilation systems, a high-performance insulation envelope and high air-tightness standards.
With the residential properties in nearby India Drive in mind, the agent stressed there are no operations in the building that will make “significant noise”.
The statement added: “Due to increasing workload, they need to extend and alter their existing facility to increase capacity and efficiency and employ additional staff.
“The current site sits within Inchinnan Business Park in an area identified in the local plan as a strategic economic investment location.
“The proposals are to extend the facility wholly within the site demise and to the rear of the existing building, with minimal impact upon the surrounding structure planting.
“The proposals are similar in aesthetic and scale to the existing and in keeping with the wider area.
“Adequate external yard space is retained to allow access and manoeuvring of commercial vehicles up to and including articulated HGVs and additional car parking is provided, with additional EV charging and accessible parking spaces.”
In its assessment of the plans, the council said: “The proposal would not appear excessively high or prominent, taking into account the existing building and surrounding building within Inchinnan [Business] Park being of similar heights.
“The proposal would not have any significant adverse impacts in terms of daylighting and overshadowing or with respect to outlook.”
In its official decision notice, it added the proposal was in line with the provisions of the development plan.
