Fewer lorries could be travelling through rural Norfolk if plans are approved for a chemical storage unit, developers say.
The unit on the outskirts of Norwich would allow Honingham Thorpe Farms to use agricultural chemicals internally, instead of having deliveries from external companies.
The development, by Brown and Co, on behalf of Honingham Thorpe Farms, would see a chemical store, workshops, contractor area, offices and car parking on land in Honingham, near the Norwich Road, north of Colton.
The building's main use would be to store nonhazardous chemicals. This would be run by Frontier Agricultural Ltd and be used by the company and Honingham Thorpe Farm.
The unit would employ 30 full-time staff.
The site is located about 300 metres from the nearest residential unit but there are six listed buildings within a one kilometre radius.
