Prodrive looking for new premises?
I read today that Prodrive have been given the go-ahead to build a new £100m factory in Warwick. 
"Prodrive aims to build a Formula One-spec facility, including offices, design studios, laboratories and a conference centre. But the scheme must now be approved by the government, which has to be consulted because the application involves green belt land. The next stage is either approval or a public inquiry into the project."

An insider advises that planning permission has been objected to by local residents, although given the size of the project and the income/prestige it will bring, I'd be suprised if it doesn't get the go-ahead.

AFAIK Its being built at the old airfield site that Prodrive own already where they have a test track Near Honiley, Warwickshire.
