New plans for former Kangol factory

Published: 27/03/2015

Copeland Council has given the green light to plans that will allow the transformation of a former Copeland factory.

The Kangol factory in Cleator had produced hats since 1938, and became a worldwide brand. However, the riverside factory closed in 2009 with the loss of 32 jobs. Now North Associates have been granted outline planning permission to make some of the site into office accommodation.

Another part of the same site already has planning permission for 79 houses, and other parts, including the Cleator Mills building, have outline permission to become offices.
