AN application for changes to a 'double ended' property which runs from Dorchester's South Street to Trinity Street has been approved by Dorset Council.

It will include a new shop front for the former Martins newsagents on the South Street side of the property with a new door for access to a flat, above, together with the demolition and rebuilding of a first floor extension.

To the rear of the site, in Trinity Street, a new shop front is planned to what was last used as a tattoo business, adding a new roof and making internal changes.

Planning consent for the re-development was sought prior to the fire which destroyed the next-door Gorge Café in South Street and has resulted in part of the street remaining sealed off for safety reasons.

The details of the proposals, together with other Dorchester planning decisions, can be seen on the Dorset Council website, using the reference provided.
