New proposals for a drive-thru restaurant in South Tyneside have been submitted to council planning chiefs. Earlier in July, 2022, South Tyneside Council’s planning department registered an application for a section of the Asda supermarket car park in the Boldon Colliery ward.
The planning bid proposed the erection of a single-storey building for a “mixed restaurant and hot food takeaway incorporating a drive-thru facility”. In addition, the plans included the “associated reconfiguration” of the car park and landscaping.
The proposed site sits adjacent to Boldon Leisure Park which already includes two drive-thru restaurants housing McDonald’s and Tim Hortons. A planning application from applicant Euro Garages Ltd confirms the new drive-thru development would create 40 jobs, with 20 full-time and 20 part-time roles.
