A new Starbucks planned for a Nottinghamshire village has been rejected over fears it could cause traffic and queues. A drive-thru Starbucks was planned to be added to the growing number of shops around the junction of Landmere Lane and Melton Road, Edwalton.
Extensive new development has taken place in the area over recent years, with a significant new housing development to the north and east of the site. Surrounding the prospective site there is an Aldi, McDonalds, Costa, Greggs and Notcutts garden centre.
The drive-thru would have likely created around 30 jobs, but planners turned down the plans after highlighting several problems with the application. The café would have been open between 7am and 10pm, seven days a week.
