PLANS to build a drive-thru Costa on London Road have been submitted to the city council.

The chain wants to open a new coffee shop, with access from Fullarton Lane.

It has included proposals for 28 parking spaces, with two disabled bays, in the scheme.

A planning report states: "The proposed new unit will be a freestanding, modern, single storey drive thru coffee shop.

"It is our view that the proposed coffee shop will complement the existing retail offer and add to the vitality of the area.

"We therefore trust the application can be considered positively, and that planning permission is granted."

It is proposed the new drive thru café will operate 24 hours.

"Given the location of the proposed development, which is separated from the nearest residential development by a tree buffer and its proximity to London Road, a main arterial route, the 24-hour operation hours will not give rise to any amenity concerns," the report adds.

KFC, McDonald’s and a Premier Inn hotel are located opposite the site, with a vacant warehouse located to the west.

Plans were also recently submitted for a drive-thru Starbucks on land on Alexandra Parade.
