Costa Coffee Portlaoise
Portlaoise could soon have a new drive through cafe if Costa Coffee’s new plans are approved.
MBCC Foods(Ireland) Ltd has applied for permission to construct a drive through lane at Costa Coffee in Portlaoise Retail Park, New Road, Portlaoise.
The development at the existing Costa Coffee would require the removal of 18 car parking spaces.
MBCC has applied for planning permission to “construct a drive-thru lane for the Costa Coffee unit, including a canopy and service hatch on the northern side of the unit, a height restrictor/entrance barrier on the access lane, and associated hard and soft landscaping, resulting in the removal of 18 no. existing car parking spaces.”
The plans also include the erection of two new directional signs, an order station, a menu board, two advertising signs and two “totem signs” of six and eight metres in height respectively.
The plan seeks “alterations to all elevations of the Costa Coffee unit, including the provision of new signage on all elevations , and a new entrance canopy on the southern elevation. Alterations to the outdoor seating areas, relocation of the bin store and cycle parking, landscaping and all associated development.”
The plan was lodged with Laois County Council on Wednesday, June 21. A decision on the proposed development is expected to be made by Friday, August 25.
