PLANS for a yoga studio in Southbourne have been submitted to the council.

The proposal will convert part of a former car showroom on Carbery Row into the two room yoga studio.

Part of the basement will be used as a studio, with the main alteration to a staircase to the ground floor.

This floor will be partitioned to create a main studio area, a female changing room, male changing room and a reception area.

The changing rooms will include toilet cubicles and shower cubicles as well as an open changing area and lockers.

The application has been submitted by Frederick Shanks, who runs Bournemouth-based Together Yoga.

A decision has not yet been made on the application.
