PLANS have been submitted for a new café in Glastonbury High Street.
The scheme would see the ground floor of the listed 60 High Street converted for commercial use, while the reminder of the building is used as a residential property.
Heriz Payne Ltd, on behalf of Poh-Chin Tan, has applied to Somerset Council to change the use of 80 High Street to a mix of commercial and residential.
The application details how the building, made up of two abutting structures, has fallen into disrepair in recent decades due to rainwater getting in, which has damaged walls, roof timbers and joists, though they have now been repaired.

“The existing use of the property is residential, and the proposed use is a mix of commercial (café) at ground floor, and residential on the upper floors, with the garden split between the commercial and residential uses, and the existing dilapidated building at the southern end of the garden replaced with a new studio serving the continued residential use,” the application said.
Internally, various walls and entrances would be altered, as well as extending the rear outbuildings to “provide adequate seating for the café”.
Other alterations to roofs and the removal of a modern conservatory extension are also planned.
“The rear outbuildings will be extended towards the garden to allow staff and disabled access WCs and adequate kitchen/storage within the retained outbuildings, and sideways to provide adequate
circulation and seating, keeping good access to the residential garden,” the plans added.
