Specification Space 4.0
These are the original specs for Space 3.0 which we're in at the moment https://hacman.org.uk/space-3-0/
Notes
- Avoid office spaces, since people may not be happy about the noise and fumes, probably more light industrial / old mills
- business use is B1-8
- We are looking for a Light Industrial/Workshop space.
