A LICHFIELD garden centre has been given planning permission to replace its current glasshouse with a new workshop.

The development at The Plant Plot will also see the reconstruction of a potting shed and the change of use for a former cafe and shop area into residential accommodation.

The Stafford Road business said the plans would see the design match more recent additions at the centre.

A planning statement explained:

> “The proposed workshop building will be a modest structure, finished in timber with a mono-pitched roof – a design philosophy that takes its cues from the numerous timber cabins dotted about the wider garden centre site.  
>  
> “The proposed building will occupy a relatively discreet position, tucked away behind the nearby Lyncroft Villa, where it will not have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.  
>  
> “The workshop will complement the existing array of commercial uses that takes place across the garden centre site, which includes a cafe, car wash, fitness bootcamp, and numerous small start-up retail units.  
>  
> “At present the site employs 16 full time equivalent members of staff, and indirectly supports in the order of 30 jobs associated with the retail cabins, car wash and fitness bootcamp.”
