Plans have been submitted to Mendip District Council for an increase in size of the shop at Wirral Park Service Station in Glastonbury.

A planning application for a proposed single-storey extension to the side and rear of the sales building with car wash lane modifications and canopy raised to 5.1 metres at Wirral Park Service Station, Wirral Park Road, Glastonbury, has been made by Motor Fuel Group Ltd.

The plan is to extend the shop to the rear for extra retail space and to the side for a new staff area, with the car wash lane going around these, closer to the boundary of the property.

However, a different planning application at the service station for a non-material amendment to permission 2019/3046/FUL for the creation of a new air/water and vacuum bay, along with two car parking spaces has been refused.
