Warburtons is to increase the size of its Burnley bakery.
It is to add a dry goods store with lean-to enclosure to bunded area for yeast and brine tanks to its premises on the Billington Road Industrial Estate.
The Bolton-headquartered firm has been granted planning permission for the extension by Burnley Council.
A supporting statement reveals: "The existing building will be extended with the addition of a new storage facility extension, and enclose the brine and yeast plant.
"The existing building's use will remain unchanged since the opening in 1981 as a bakery facility.
"The building is split into multiple zones: production, dispatch and storage. The new extension will be used for storage.
"The proposed extension will consist of three rooms, two of which, the store and pancake rooms, will be accessible from the existing building.
"The brine/yeast store will be accessible for the higher external site level and will be bunded.
"The scale of the proposal is to remain as existing, with the proposed extension to have a lower eaves than the existing.
"The building's footprint will increase by 408 square metres approximately."
The application added: "The proposal of a new storage facility to the South-West corner of the existing building will feature composite cladding and brickwork plinth façade."
Access to the wider Warburton's site will be north via the A646 and onto Billington Road. The current car parking spaces at the north west of the site will remain, with overflow parking to the west and pedestrian access via a footpath on Billington Road.
