Plans to extend a business premises have been given the go ahead.

On Thursday (May 28), Rother District Council’s planning committee approved proposals to add a single storey extension to an industrial building at 12 Beeching Road, Bexhill.

The building is occupied by Furness Controls, a manufacturing business, which produces specialised measurement equipment. It describes itself as being "global specialists in leak testing, flow testing, and the measurement of ultra-low pressures".

The committee heard from planning officer Matt Worsley, who said: “Officers consider this proposal supports a well-established local business; helps it grow. The scale and design is appropriate for the area and building.”

Mr Worsley said the application had only been brought to the committee as Rother District Council is the landowner.

The extension is expected to add approximately 90 square metres of floor space. The application also includes the relocation of gates and car parking spaces and soft landscaping.

For further information see application RR/2026/0349/FULL on the Rother District Council website.
