A shop in Welwyn Garden City look set to expand after a planning application was submitted.

Plans for new signage and advertising cases at the One Stop store in Peartree Lane have been made to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council.

The proposals would see shop signs stretching across the full length of the building, rather than just above the current unit - suggesting One Stop will be expanding into the empty unit next door.

It has stood empty since March 9, when Boots decided to close the pharmacy that occupied the site, as part of plans to shut 300 stores across the UK.

Plans also appear to show that changes will be made to the front of the building, with the door to the former Boots pharmacy replaced by windows, and signage for the Post Office removed.
