THE Morrisons filling station in Wincanton could be extended – and the car wash demolished – if new plans are approved.

Planning firm Carney Sweeney, on behalf of Motor Fuel Group (MFG), has submitted plans to Somerset Council that would see the Southgate Road petrol station redeveloped.

The scheme would see a single-storey extension of the shop into space created by the demolition of the car wash.

It was part of “MFG’s proposals to upgrade facilities across their portfolio of Morrison petrol filling stations”, the application said.

The extension of the kiosk/shop would “provide an improved offer to visiting motorists”, it said.

The changes would see the internal area of the kiosk/shop extended from the current 92 sqm to 242 spm, the plans said.
