Costa drive-thru plan for Castleford town centre car park gets green light
Wakefield Council has given the go-ahead for the coffee chain to open the premises on Bridge Street car park.
The site lies in an area which is about to be transformed as part of a £23m redevelopment of the town.
Documents submitted to the local authority said up to 20 jobs would be created by the new business.
The land is privately owned and next to a council-run car park.
The scheme includes providing 27 customers parking bays, ten of which are to be fitted with electrical vehicle charging points.
A fresh application has been made due to a change of occupier.
A project to regenerate Castleford is currently underway after the council secured £23m of government Town Deal funding in 2019.
Much of the funding is being spent on a revamp of buildings and open spaces next to the river Aire and in the town centre.
