Costa Coffee has unveiled plans to add a ‘drive-thru’ to their Strabane store.
The coffee shop chain recently submitted an application to Derry City and Strabane District Council’ s planning portal, seeking permission to convert the existing store at Strabane Retail Park to create additional floorspace, a drive-through lane, and extra storage.
“The drive-thru lane is designed to fit naturally into the south east part of the site where its curved lane follows the curve of the site boundary,” a supporting Design and Access Statement said. “The area in which the lane is located is the area that is used least for parking on the site."
“The proposal also includes a small extension to the shop to include a staff toilet and much-needed storage, and new signage is included to bring the unit up to the specification of current Costa Coffee UK and Ireland sites.
“The site is already established as a Costa Coffee, which has been established for eight years and complements the other retail units on the site.
“A new mature laurel hedge will be planted along the south/ west boundary to provide separation between the footpath and the drive-thru lane, and this siting ensures that there is no clash with the existing services on the site and all services already on site and are easily accessible.”
