Shoe manufacturer and retailer Clarks has unveiled plans (pictured) for a 592,000 sq ft (55,000 sq m) European distribution headquarters and 350 homes in Street, Somerset.

The homes will be developed next to the HQ, which will replace several existing warehouses.

A planning application will be submitted this summer.

Atkins Walter Webster is the architect on the scheme, with RPS the planning consultant, Arup the project manager and Gleeds the surveyor.

Street is Clarks’ birthplace, with Cyrus Clark having created the company as a sheepskin tannery in 1825.
