Storage King Bath is based at Unit C at Weston Lock Retail Park, which is also home to a McDonald’s drive-thru and restaurant and an M&S food hall.
The storage company began trading at the site off Lower Bristol Road in April 2023.
The planning application submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council says there is growing demand for self-storage facilities nationally and due to high demand and a growing customer base, Storage King is looking to create additional floor space by providing 12 external direct access units in its car park, creating 261.1sqm of new self-storage space.
The proposals include rearranging the existing car park layout to provide a slight reduction to 16 spaces, including two Blue Badge spaces and a loading bay, and the relocation of the existing cycle parking provision and bin store.
There are no changes proposed to the access to the retail park.
The planning application reference is 24/01791/FUL. The deadline for comments is 8th July.
