Plans have been submitted to Mendip District Council for changes to the outside of a Grade II listed shop in Wells High Street.

A planning application for minor alterations to the shop front and sign at 56 High Street, Wells, has been submitted by Mr Dickson Lau.

Until recently, the building was the Sante wine shop and the proposals are to deepen the shop front sign, and to revise the configuration of the existing shop front to introduce single pane windows to replace the multi pane windows and simplify the front door, again to remove the intermediate glazing bars to the existing glazed panel, with all joinery to be re-painted white.
