THIRTY jobs could be created if plans to build a workshop in Billingham are approved today.
Members of Stockton Borough Council's planning committee will discuss plans to replace the Bell Truck Sales facility, on the town's Macklin Avenue, with a bigger building housing a workshop, offices, retail sales area, a vehicle wash facility and car parking.
The development provides a second vehicle entrance and also allows for further possible future expansion at the back.
Councillors have been recommended to approve the plans subject to an amended plan be submitted, showing additional parking for the increase in staff.
The report to the meeting said: "The development does require an additional 20 car parking spaces and this has been requested from the applicant. The development, if approved, will help secure some 30 new jobs.
"Subject therefore to an amended plan showing the necessary additional parking approval is recommended."
