An additional planning application has been lodged for an Inverness site targeted by popular doughnut firm Krispy Kreme.
It is seeking consent for changes at 60 High Street, which is a category B listed premises.
Earlier this month, a planning application was submitted to Highland Council for the erection of fascia and projecting signs showing the name of the business above the door.

If given the go-ahead, it looks set to fill vacant premises next to Market Brae Steps, which were formerly used by Commercial Bank of Scotland.
The application, from Callander-based agent WD Harley, states its intention to have the signage in place for at least 15 years.
A design statement included in the latest set of documents states: "The existing building retains character and architectural features to the frontage – currently in [bank] corporate blue.
"Our client proposes to simply and sensitivity change this to their branding colours.
"The proposals do not seek to alter the fabric of the external appearance and are for colour changes only."
It points out that the "hanging sign" would be in keeping with other retailers.
"Internally, the feature columns remain untouched, and no works is undertaken on the upper levels," it adds.
