A scheme to build two drive-through restaurants and a cafe, creating 75 jobs at a main gateway into Telford, have been recommended for approval.

The plans would see a Burger King, KFC and Costa Coffee built on a site off Rampart Way near Junction 5 of the M54, bringing more than 75 jobs.

Officers have recommended that Telford & Wrekin Council’s planning committee approves the scheme at a meeting tomorrow, despite objections by the owners of Telford Shopping Centre and Southwater Event Group.

The scheme is by specialist development firm Telford Commercial is expected to create the equivalent of between 75.5 and 77.5 full-time jobs.

Officers say the development would be of “distinctive, high quality design” and there are no issues that cannot be mitigated against through the use of conditions.
