A former children's clothes shop on Dorchester's South Street is likely to become a café.

An application for the conversion of the former Baby Birds shop, opposite the United Church, has raised no objection from Dorchester town council planners. The previous business has moved to another location and is still trading.

The application for a change of use has been submitted by All Things Tasty with a business address on Weymouth's Granby estate.

Documents submitted with the plans say the café will be open 7am until 7pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday. It will employ three full time and one part time staff.

A final decision will be made by West Dorset District Council planners.
