Issa brother's EG Group plan new drive-thru & 11 other new applications in East Lancashire

The Issa brother’s EG Group want to build a new hot food drive-thru restaurant next to the M65.

Plans for the premises, car parking and landscaping on land at the junction with Whitewalls Drive, Colne, have been submitted to Pendle Borough Council.

The site forms part of an infill development between existing retail and inudstrial uses in the surrounding area. To the North East is Boundary Mill and North Valley retail park, whilst to the South West there is Swinden retail park containing, Asda, Next, Pure Gym and B&M.

The intended operator of the drive-thru has not been named, but the site is already partially developed and includes a Starbucks coffee drive thru, petrol filling station, car wash and EV charging hub.

The agent said: “The addition of a hot food drive thru will further enhace and have a positive impact on the local area.” Adding: “It will provide a series of uses of benefit to passing motorists. The proposed development will result in economic benefits by way of the creation of 20 jobs. The job creation comprises a material consideration in the determination of the application.”

Access is proposed from the existing estate road, which will be extended to the east.

A decision will be made in coming weeks by Pendle Borough Council.
