A planning application has been submitted to Kirklees Council to build a new Popeyes restaurant and Costa Coffee at Centre 27 Business Park in Birstall.

The application, submitted on behalf of London Metrics DT Limited, is for the demolition of the Frankie & Benny’s and Chiquito buildings, and creation of a drive-through coffee shop, drive-through restaurant, and commercial unit.

Documents submitted alongside the application suggest the new buildings could house a Popeyes restaurant and a Costa Coffee shop – both with drive-through facilities.

The parking spaces will sit in the centre of the three proposed units bordered by Woodhead Road and Gelderd Road.

The proposal suggests the employment of 67 full-time employees or part-time staff equivalent to that.

Opening hours would be between 5am and 11pm seven days a week for two of the operations, and 8am to 10pm seven days a week for the other.
