A decision on plans to build a Greggs drive-through in Bulwell alongside a Subway and tanning salon has been delayed by Nottingham councillors concerned about pollution and the design. Hereford-based drive-through developer, Mersenne Developments Ltd, submitted plans to build on the site of the former Apollo Hotel in Hucknall Lane in January this year.
It revealed proposals to build a Greggs outlet on the site, which features a drive-through, alongside a Subway and a tanning salon. Residents in Hucknall Lane, Ventura Drive and Saxondale Court were consulted and a number of objections were submitted.
Residents feared “rat infestations” and noise issues, prompting a number of alterations to be made, including changes to the operating hours. Despite the changes, Nottingham City Council ’s planning committee chose to defer the plans on June 21, having raised issue with potential pollution.
