The company has retained its existing staff at a large temporary garden centre on the site while the redevelopment takes place.

A spokesman said: “Once the redevelopment is complete at the 8.3-acre site, customers will benefit from a consolidated garden centre, with all goods and services located in one contemporary high-quality building.”

Haskins Garden Centres, which originated as plant nursery, is currently chaired by fourth-generation Haskins family member Warren Haskins, who took over the business in 1969 at the age of 20.
