“HIGH-END” coffee could soon be processed, packaged and sold from a premises near Wellington, if plans are approved.

JV Planning & Building Design, on behalf of Mr S Jones, has applied to Somerset Council for permission to change the use of units 20 and 21 at Westpark, allowing for the sale of food and drink ‘to be consumed off the premises’.

The property is currently allocated for general industrial, storage and distribution, and offices or research/development use.

“Under this proposal the applicant is seeking to retain (current) uses, but add to it the ability to sell food and drink to be consumed off of the premises,” the application said.

“This proposal will see the building being used for the processing, packaging and sale of high end coffee.

“The coffee products will be sold to anyone (including the public) from the premises. As the product would go hand-in-hand with the sale of confectionary (cake/biscuits and the like), these products will also be offered for sale to the public.”

No changes would be made to the building, which is currently empty, the application added, but would create the equivalent of four full-time jobs.
