Designs for a new factory have come before west Oxfordshire planners for the first time.
Developers Peregrine House have applied for permission for a 16,000 square metre factory building on land off Downs Road, Witney.
The building will be used by a company which supplies components to the building industry and is expected to employ about 160 people.
Planning officer Phil Shaw said the arrival of such a major employer was clearly welcome. He added: "However, there are concerns regarding the visual impact of such a large building."
Councillors asked for more details on the design and scale of the building.
