What’s Proposed?

- Two drive-thru outlets
- Industrial and warehouse units
Search for planning application reference: LU/72/25/OUT
Why You Should Object
- More traffic, congestion, and safety risks
- Noise and disruption from late-night commercial activity
- Loss of green space and visual amenity
- Fast food near White Meadows & Lyminster primary schools
- Impact on local shops and a nearby area of recognised deprivation
- Unacceptable cumulative pressure from this and the already approved expansion of the Minster Court industrial site
Important: While names like McDonald’s, Costa, or Aldi are mentioned in the proposal, they are not confirmed tenants. This is a marketing tactic used to gain support. The actual businesses could be less desirable — such as vape shops, generic takeaways, or discount outlets — that may not reflect community preferences or character. Although not a planning objection on its own, please don’t be swayed by the brands listed without guarantees.
