PLANS to convert garages behind 3 and 5, St Mary's Street, Bridgwater, to form a self contained home were approved by district planners last week.

PLANNERS deferred a decision on plans to build an extension to form three flats at 86 to 88 St John Street, Bridgwater, for a site visit to assess the impact on roads and to assess the planned design.

FALCON Self Drive's bid to build extra vehicle maintenance facilities, offices, a new store area, and remove temporary offices in Showground Road, Bridgwater, were given the go-ahead by planners, subject to amendments to disabled parking designs.

SEDGEMOOR District Council granted permission to convert an agricultural building into a tack/saddlery shop in Hill Farm, in Burtle Road, Burtle.
