Plans to build a McDonald's on the outskirts of a Suffolk town have been recommended for approval.
A reserved matters application was submitted to Braintree District Council by the fast-food chain to build a drive-through restaurant on land at Haverhill Business Park.
Proposals for the restaurant include a drive-thru, customer order displays, 48 car parking spaces, play area and a golden arches sign. The restaurant will be able to sit 118 covers.
Access to the restaurant will be via Bumpstead Road.
The cross-boundary application received a number of objections.
Both West Suffolk Council and Suffolk Highways said a transport assessment should be provided due to the anticipated volume of customers and the impact of the development.
The proposed building will be similar to other McDonald's in the country.
Braintree District Council planning officers said: "The proposed scheme is considered to be well-designed, appropriate for the site and its industrial setting.
"There are no substantiated technical objections to the scheme, noting that the principle of a drive-through takeaway restaurant is agreed in principle through the earlier outline planning permission."
