Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 06:08 · Archive
Plans for a McDonald's and Starbucks drive-through have been backed by economic regeneration company Sea Change Sussex for Bexhill Enterprise Park.
Plans for a McDonald's restaurant and Starbucks café at Bexhill Enterprise Park have received backing from Sea Change Sussex, the economic regeneration company that developed the business park. The scheme, proposed by Stroud Holdings for land south of the roundabout connecting Combe Valley Way with Mount View Street, would include a drive-through McDonald's operating 24 hours a day with 79 indoor dining seats and an outside eating area, a Starbucks coffee shop with drive-through lanes, and an InstaVolt electric vehicle charging hub with nine bays. All units would be single-storey.
Sea Change Sussex has submitted formal comments to Rother District Council in support of the application. The company said the scheme provides a 'much needed food and beverage provision within the southern part of the enterprise park', noting there are 'limited offerings within easy walking distance of the commercial development'. It also praised the charging station as 'a sustainability benefit to the Enterprise Park, making it easily accessible by EVs including electric vans from London without the need for additional stops on route to charge'.
The developments are expected to support around 140 jobs if approved. The application has been submitted to Rother District Council for consideration.
