PROPOSALS have been unveiled to demolish Taunton s biggest shop to make way for up to 92 apartments. A planning application has been lodged with Somerset West and Taunton Council to knock down the Debenhams store in 19 to 26 North Street. The application on behalf of Ropemaker Properties says the plans are a contingency approach to the site should the existing occupiers vacate . Debenhams is currently in administration and unless a buyer can be found will close by March. A range of options has been considered for the building, which front onto North Street and looks over Goodland Gardens, including redeveloping the existing premises.
