LIVE: Decision due on new McDonald's fast-food outlet and drive-thru in Tipperary
McDonald's hope to build a new outlet in Thurles
McDonald's have lodged a planning application with Tipperary County Council to build a new fast-food restaurant and drive-thru in Thurles.
The intended location is adjacent to Lidl on land at Slievenamon Road and Thurles Relief Road, Thurles, county Tipperary.
The development will consist of a single storey drive-thru restaurant including the ancillary sale of hot food for consumption off the premises with an associated corral area, elevational signage, modifications to existing vehicular access off the Thurles Relief Road.
The plans include car parking including accessible parking spaces, grill bays, EV charging spaces, bicycle parking, a height restrictor, customer order points with associated canopies, totem signage, free-standing signage, banner frames and digital menu boards.
Also included in the plans are an ESB substation and kiosk, landscaping including outdoor furniture/seating area with parasols, boundary treatments, lighting, and all associated site and engineering works necessary to facilitate the development.
If planning is granted, this would become the fifth McDonald's in the county following last year's opening of a Nenagh location.
A decision is due on April 14.
