Starbucks applies to build in Aylesbury
The coffee chain want to have a drive-thru site on the edge of the town
Starbucks could finally be coming to Aylesbury - but not the town centre.
The coffee chain has applied to build at Berryfields, off Henry Lee Crescent and the A41, with a drive-thru.
Proposals have already had a few negative comments, including from the Parish Council.
The say:
"The PC is concerned about possible light pollution from this installation. It is out of keeping with local residential vernacular and within approximately 10 meters of neighbouring established cottages on A41, and all houses in Exemplar Park.
"The PC has not been consulted in respect of the main build.
"The PC objects on the grounds of light pollution, potential distraction to traffic on A41 and light pollution to close neighbouring properties."
Those behind the development argue:
"The proposed café will be a complimentary addition to the changing Berryfields street scene and enhance the area by providing a local facility for the local residence and employment area.
"A number of new job opportunities will be generated by the new facility for local people of Berryfields and surrounding area delivering both economic and social benefits."
Bucks Council should make a decision next month.
