Yvette Black, Senior Planner, Planning and Development at JLL North, said: “It took perseverance to get the green light for this scheme, but we’re really pleased to have secured a great opportunity for Euro Garages and for the local community in Wakefield.

“Drive-thru retail can act as a gateway, encouraging more consumers to visit an area and in turn contribute further to the regional economy and providing other social benefits to the local community as well.”

Nathan Tonge, Senior Planner at Euro Garages, said: “It is thanks to the hard work of the team at JLL that we now have consent for this site, which is a major step towards providing jobs, as well as a healthy fast-food option to the area. We are looking forward to getting underway with the development and can’t wait to welcome our first customers.”​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
