Refurb and expansion plans revealed for popular McDonald's in Shropshire
A planning application has been lodged to refurbish and extend a branch of McDonald’s in Shrewsbury.
The restaurant at the Meole Brace retail park is proposing a 'minor extension' and the installation of two new canopies as well as replacement patio furniture.
In a statement to Shropshire Council planners the company's agent says the proposed extension is 26.2 m2, which will form a new back of house freezer and bin store for improved storage.
"The Environment Agency advise that a non-domestic extension where the additional footprint created by the development does not exceed 250 m2 is a minor extension.
"Therefore, this development amounts to a minor extension in a Flood Zone 3.
"The proposed methods and materials to be used to construct this extension are intended to improve the resilience and resistance against the threat of potential floods and minimise water ingress within the existing building, therefore not making the flood risk factor any worse than currently envisaged."
Also planned are two new canopies over the customer order displays and a Gallow style height restriction.
The introduction of two new electric car charging bays is also on the cards as is replacement patio furniture, the relocation of five existing cycle hoops and associated works to the site.
The reinstating of fascia signage following re-lamping and the relocation of existing wall mounted banner is also in the planning application.
