The Body Barn, currently based in farm buildings off Moorfield Lane in Newport, has applied for a change of use for a light industrial unit on Hortonwood 7 in Telford.

The business says it plans to consolidate its operations, currently based in three separate buildings on the existing farm, into a single site - and has applied for planning permission to convert Unit D5 on Hortonwood 7, formerly occupied by a motorhome business, into a gym.

A supporting statement submitted with the application on behalf of applicant, Mr Daniel Robb, said that despite addressing noise concerns at their existing site, complaints from neighbours had "fed into the decision" to relocate to Telford.
