More storage – Pirelli revises Carlisle extension plan

Pirelli has revised plans to expand its Carlisle tyre plant in response to demand for further storage space. Documents received by Carlisle City Council and Cumberland Council on 22 July show that Pirelli has enlarged the proposed “green tyre store” it intends to build adjacent to the Dalston Road factory’s main manufacturing building. At 2,650 square metres, the planned tyre storage building is now 200 square metres larger than as shown on the previously approved plan that Pirelli submitted in June 2023.
