Plans to convert three flats on the upper floors of a prominent building in Glastonbury Market Place into one maisonette have been given the green light by Mendip District Council.

The planning application for the conversion of upper floors from three flats to one dwelling, with changes to internal layout at First Floor Flat, 16 Market Place, Glastonbury, had been made by Andrew Carrier.

The proposal is to convert the upper floors above Heaphy's into one maisonette, which will have two bedrooms.

The building is listed, but nothing remains internally in terms of historic details, following a fire at the site in 2002.

Following the fire, the upper floors were configured into three one-bedroom flats, though these can now be adapted to become one home following the Mendip approval.

One planning application for Glastonbury was submitted to Mendip District Council this week:
