New Costa with drive through approved at Barnsley retail park

Up to 20 full time jobs will be created once the 167 sq m coffee shop is built on the eastern side of the retail park, joining Pets at Home, Dunelm, B&M and Harveys.

A report supporting the application says that the site consists of land currently used for car parking within Wombwell Lane RetailPark, and 43 spaces will be lost.

The report adds: "The site has a fairly complex planning history going back several years with different consents for different parts of the retail park. For this reason, the owners sought a fresh planning permission for the whole site and all previous planning permissions are now superseded by this new permission.

"Vehicular access to the shared car park will be as existing for the Retail Park.

"The proposed development will result in the reconfiguration of car parking at the retail park, with the overall net loss of 43 spaces.

"The proposed drive thru coffee shop is to be situated in the eastern boundary of the retail park, adjacent to Wombwell Lane, resulting in the loss of car parking which is furthest from the neighbouring premises within the retail park."The design of the proposed drive thru coffee shop is modern and complements the existing retail development."
