Plans for new Costa Coffee drive-thru in Telford given go-ahead
The new branch will employ 15 members of staff
Work to build Telford’s latest branch of Costa Coffee can begin after plans were given the green light.
Telford & Wrekin Council planners have given the go-ahead on plans to build a new branch of Costa Coffee in Madeley.
The new store, while will be sited between Lidl, KFC and Aldi, will also feature a drive-thru.
A spokesperson for the company said it is anticipated that the development - when it’s fully operational - will result in 15 full and part-time jobs with flexible shifts which will be the equivalent of 8 full time jobs.
The company states that the new branch will be open from 5pm to 11pm seven days a week.
Approving the plans, a Telford & Wrekin Council planning officer said the land was assigned as “white land” with no specific designated use.
The report said the scheme was “not considered to result in any significantly detrimental harm upon the residential amenity of neighbouring properties” and objections from neighbours had been received.
The full application and decision notice are available to view online on the council’s planning portal using reference number TWC/2026/0504
