A LEADING trailer manufacturer says it may be forced to leave the UK after being refused planning permission to build a car park at its factory in Manchester.
John Cartwright, director at Altrincham-based Cartwright Group, says the company is "considering its options" after Trafford Council rejected plans for the 150-space development at its 50-acre site on the Broadheath industrial estate, on the basis that it would have made an impact on greenbelt land.
Cartwright says his firm could expand its bases at Northampton and Avonmouth, move to Wales, or even leave Britain if it continued to be "stifled with bureaucracy': He is due to meet Altrincham MP Graham Brady and senior Trafford Council officials soon in a bid to resolve the issue.
Councillor Mike Comes, from Trafford Council, says: "The planning application failed because it constitutes inappropriate development on greenbelt land, and no special circumstances were presented to justify a departure from this national planning policy.
