Plans submitted for new drive-thru lane at Littlehampton fast-food restaurant
Plans for a new drive-through lane at the Burger King in Littlehampton have been submitted to Arun District Council.
The proposed one-way lane would run around the northern and eastern side of the restaurant, with alterations to parking, pedestrian access and drainage also to be considered.
The plans include 60 parking spaces, two accessible bays and three reserved for staff, alongside a dedicated pedestrian route and zebra crossing.
The restaurant is situated at Worthing Road Services to the south of the A259 and adjacent to Norway Lane. The wider site currently consists of the Burger King/ Subway restaurant, a Travelodge hotel, Shell petrol station and a coffee drive-through.
The current access to the site would remain the same, with the drive-through proposed to connect to the existing layout.
The applicant states the new lane would ‘ improve customer convenience and site operation’.
A Transport Statement concluded that although there may be an increase in traffic as a result, it is believed that a significant number of users would be existing customers that would otherwise park.
The application will be considered under Arun Local Plan 2011-2031.
A decision is set to be made by November 3, with comments due by October 8.
