New McDonald’s planned for Yorkshire town – a six minute walk from nearest branch
McDonald’s hopes to open a new restaurant in Unit 1B at the retail park, which was home to the now-closed Cow and Cream and Bathstore before that.
Application documents say if approved by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, the restaurant will have fewer seats, and focus on producing food for delivery.

Employees will be required to undertake litter patrols three times per day within a 150m vicinity of the restaurant.
Application documents add: “McDonald’s has a long and extremely successful history of operating in sensitive settings, and consequently any noise, odour, amenity considerations that do arise will be appropriately mitigated.”
Residents can comment on the plans until April 15 on Barnsley Council’s website.
