PLANS to build an extension for a car showroom at the Westpark Business Park at Chelston on the outskirts of Wellington have been supported by local councillors.

Members of Wellington Town Council’s planning committee met on April 7 where they heard about the plans to extend the existing car sales building to incorporate a car showroom at the Wellington Motor Vehicle Compound.

Cllr John Thorne said: “This extension is not going to be out of place and it is good that the business in thriving.”

The extension site is currently used as a car park and display area.

Councillors voted in favour to support the application submitted by Wellington Motors Ltd – although a final decision rests with the planning authority at Somerset Council.
