Date set for decision on plans for McDonald's in Glossop

A decision is expected next month on controversial plans from McDonald's to redevelop the site of the former Wren's Nest pub in Glossop and create a new restaurant and drive thru. 

The application, which has divided the community, is currently set to go before High Peak Borough Council’s Development Control Committee on Monday 12 September. 

Under the proposals, the present buildings would be demolished and replaced by a restaurant with a drive thru, as well as parking for 32 vehicles.

McDonald's say the new development would create 65 new jobs - 30 full time and 35 part time roles.   

The application has divided opinion locally with a petition against the proposals attracting hundreds of signatures. Hundreds of separate comments both for and against have also been submitted. 

Among the concerns raised are fears that, if given the go-ahead, the development could cause even more traffic problems and create further congestion.
