A healthcare clinic could open on an industrial estate.

Wendy Wright has submitted a planning application to Maldon District Council for the change of use of a unit on the Benbridge Industrial Estate in Holloway Road, Heybridge.

The proposed new complementary health care clinic will employ eight part-time and four full-time members of staff, if it gets the go ahead.

It would be open from 9am-8pm during the week and 9am-1pm on Saturday.

The therapies would include osteopathy, massage, acupuncture, hypnotherapy and counselling.

A decision is due by September 10.

The unit currently has permission for use as an office.
