The original plan was to construct a new manufacturing plant here.
原计划是在这里建一个新的制造厂。
Because we use 'just in time' methods, we didn't want to have components and raw materials coming great distances,
因为我们实施的是“准时生产”方法，我们不希望距离原件和原材料太远，
so we picked this town because we could get most of these from local sources.
所以我们选择了这个小镇，因为我们可以从当地获得大部分材料。
But soon after we started building, we realised we didn't require additional manufacturing capacity after all,
但是开始施工之后，我们意识到我们完全不需要额外的生产能力，
and decided to use the site for a big distribution centre, serving the whole of Europe, and to close several smaller centres.
我们决定将这个厂址用作一个大型的分销中心，服务于整个欧洲以及附近的几个小型中心。
So construction of the plant was halted, new plans were drawn up, and we went through the whole procedure of getting planning permission again.
所以工厂施工停止了，新的计划被拟定，我们再次审查了获取建筑许可的整个程序。
But it all went very smoothly, and we were still able to open on the original date.
但一切进行顺利，我们仍可能在原定日期开业。
