An order was placed with Wessex Demolition for the clearance of a terrace of obsolete factory units at Bailey Gate Industrial Estate, Sturminster Marshall. This represents the first phase of a regeneration scheme in the heart of the industrial estate which is wholly-owned by Birchmere Ltd. The planning permission also provides for the erection of seven purpose-built B1, B2 & B8 factory units. A start date for construction has not yet been set.
