PLANS have been submitted this week for a new coffee shop and drive-thru to be built at the Bridgwater Gateway site near Junction 24 of the M5.

The new coffee shop would be located on new business park adjacent to the Huntworth Roundabout on the A38 south of Bridgwater.

It will be close to the new Premier Inn hotel, and will provide a circulatory route for drive-thru customers as well as 33 parking spaces.

Planning permission had already been granted for the construction of a petrol filling station for this plot of land, but those plans have been scrapped due to 'insufficient commercial interest'.
