Garden centre near Burnham-On-Sea unveils huge expansion plan

A garden centre near Burnham-On-Sea is planning a huge expansion of its site.

Burnham-On-Sea.com learns that Wyevale, the owner of Sanders Garden World at Brent Knoll, is working on a huge planning application that will greatly increase the size of its site.

The new proposal is for a 3,252 square metre extension to the main garden centre building, as opposed to a 2,785 square metre extension as approved by the Secretary Of State in August 2005.

This would bring the total floor space to a huge 5,537 square metres.

The application will also include permission for 411 parking spaces, an extra 42 spaces.

Wyevale has already conducted several pre-application consultation meetings with the Development Control and Policy teams at Sedgemoor District Council and is currently in talks with Somerset County Council.

The garden centre will be holding an exhibition of its plans later in March when further details about the extension are to be announced.
