The council's chief executive officer Andrew Johnson said the council had approved the development application and imposed conditions, in line with the council's planning scheme, to best protect residents and the amenity of the area.
"This DA takes nothing away from existing businesses including on-street carparking and provides confidence in Somerset in terms of growth and development," Mr Johnson said.
