A FORMER bank building in Cheddar could be turned into flats under new plans.
A planning application has been submitted to see if prior approval is required to change the use of the Lloyds bank on Bath Street from commercial to four flats.
The building has been vacant since the closure of the Lloyds bank in January 2023.

Under the plans, the ground floor will remain a commercial use and it will be used to access the proposed flats.
Agent Hill Reading Architects said: “The development makes great use of the current existing situation at the site, and provides high-quality living opportunities within Cheddar.”
They added: “The proposal makes great use of the redundant building and provides a great living opportunity in a popular area.
“There is plenty of amenity in close proximity, including shops and public transport.”
The same applicant was granted permission in August last year to create 20 new parking spaces behind the property.
