  • Starbucks and Burger King drive-thru plans get go-ahead on appeal

    By Mark Smith Verified| Cheshire Live Verified Starbucks and Burger King drive-thrus are set to be built in Widnes after a planning appeal was upheld. Halton Council planning chiefs had thrown out plans for the development at Green Oaks Shopping Park following a site visit in September last year. A majority of members had expressed concerns about traffic build up, particularly the turning out of the main Morrisons/Green Oaks car park. The applicant appealed the decision and the government’s planning inspector has now upheld their appeal.
