There are plans for a Timpson pod in the car park of Sainsbury’s next to Green Park Station.

The planning application submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council shows the pod will be in the section close to the crossing to the north west of the store.

Three customer parking spaces will be removed to make way for the concession pod, says a report accompanying the planning application.

Bollards will be installed to protect the building and those who use it. The pod will have a gross internal floor space of approximately 15 square metres.

The report says: “The addition of a Timpson’s concession pod at the food store will provide ancillary facilities for existing customers, enabling them to access dry cleaning, key cutting, engraving, and watch repair services whilst shopping at the store.

“Similar service concession facilities are well established in similar food stores across the UK.”

Three internally illuminated fascia signs and 10 wall signs on the front and sides of the pod are proposed.

The planning reference is 25/03781/FUL and the deadline for comments is 11th November.
