Several planning applications have been submitted in Bath and North East Somerset and North Somerset, including proposals for Clevedon Pier, a retrospective lettings agency conversion to a flat, a potential brain injury care unit, and signage plans for a Wetherspoons pub.
An application placed with North Somerset Council outlines plans to enhance the landing stage at Clevedon Pier, seeking to replace the existing wooden fenders with a more durable stainless steel and rubber fender system. Additionally, a thorough inspection of the concrete columns is proposed to ensure longevity.
The Grade I listed pier, known for its historical significance and beauty, is set for the improvement, which aims to enhance ship docking access and generate increased revenue for the trust responsible for its maintenance.

A separate application requests retrospective planning permission for the conversion of a lettings agency office in Weston-super-Mare into a flat, featuring an en-suite bedroom and a transformed shop window.

Meanwhile, the King of Wessex, a Wetherspoons pub on James Street West in Bath, is seeking advertising consent for a more prominent sign and new window designs.
These planning applications offer insights into the evolving landscape of these areas, encompassing historical and commercial landmarks as well as provisions for specialized care and rehabilitation facilities.
