Plans for drive-thru restaurant or coffee shop on Shropshire industrial estate withdrawn
Plans have been withdrawn for a drive-thru restaurant or coffee shop to be built in a Shropshire industrial estate, after facing opposition from the council’s planning development team.
Proposals were submitted in November for the development at PR House in Hortonwood, with the applicant stating that the ‘most common scenario’ would be for a franchise of a national chain to move into the building.
The application was submitted alongside another one for PR House for the change of use of the existing office into a medical centre and ancillary accommodation. Part of the related plans include nine lorry and 28 car electric charging stations.
“The drive-thru will be primarily available to serve the private car and HGV electric charging point users proposed through the adjoining planning application submitted to the council for the PR House complex as a whole,” the applicant said in a planning statement.
“The facility will provide them with a suitable place to rest and take refreshment whilst waiting for their vehicles to charge.
