The company has submitted a planning application to re-clad its office building - Marston House, create a new entrance and reception area, and increase parking at the site by 23 spaces.
Marston House is a small part of Denso Marston's huge factory. If the plans are approved grey cladding will installed on the two storey building, as well as a much more modern entrance. A new reception area will be created inside. With the extra parking spaces proposed in the application, the site will have 345 car parking spaces.
A decision on the application is expected next month.
