A BANK in the centre of Taunton is planning to give this interior of the branch a fresh look.

HSBC UK, in North Street, has applied to Somerset Council for planning permission for changes including:

  • blocking off a till and reconfiguring the entrance to the back of house with a lobby;
  • removing some partitioning and doors;
  • replaced the existing suspended ceiling tiles;
  • and decorating the ground floor and installing new furniture.

The bank also wants to replace three signs as HSBC is about to adopt a reworked corporate identity.

The planning application is among the latest submitted to the council.
