The subjects comprise a detached single-storey industrial complex, set within a regular shaped and generally level-lying site.

Vehicle access into the workshop space is provided by a metal sliding door, measuring approximately 4.62m (15ft 1ins) high by 4.11m (13ft 5ins) wide. The workshop benefits from an overhead gantry crane with a three-tonne lift capacity. Translucent panels have been incorporated
