Vision Express is planning to relocate from inside The Oracle to another unit facing on to Broad Street.
It used to be occupied by the Carphone Warehouse, which closed during the early stages of the covid pandemic in April 2020.
Vision Express wants approval for advertising consent for its purple colour scheme to replace the dark blue the store is currently painted with.
The future of the unit is unclear, as earlier this year sushi chain Wasabi won approval to take it over for a takeaway with 14 seats inside.
