Fast food giants Burger King has won the right to set up shop at a site in Bridgend. The firm applied to the county council in 2021 to build a new "drive-thru" restaurant at Wickes car park off the A48 Picton Court roundabout - but was refused.
Officials said no on the basis there wasn't a pedestrian crossing at the roundabout, as well as saying there was a lack of capacity for the increased volume of traffic the restaurant could generate. However, Burger King have now won an appeal after the planning inspector dismissed the council's objections - saying the local authority had failed to provide evidence to support their claims.
