Could this be the next site for another Leeds McDonald's restaurant and dry-through?
00:05
This vacant land, just off Town Street in Stanningley, used to be part of a former metal recycling plant,
00:11
and it's been eyed up by the fast food retailer.
00:14
A public consultation was launched last December on the scheme,
00:17
which is believed will create 130 construction jobs and 70 jobs for part and full-time employees if and when it opens.
00:25
Now, a formal planning application is being considered by Leeds City Council for the site in the West Leeds community.
00:32
A McDonald's design report said the development proposals have been subject to a range of pre-application consultation.
00:39
Road safety concerns were discussed at a public meeting,
00:43
and the proposed opening hours were reduced from 24 hours a day to between 6am and midnight.
00:50
McDonald's have been keen to highlight the potential economic boost for nearby businesses,
00:55
and the scheme would include 34 parking spaces along with cycle bays and electric vehicle charging points.
01:02
The report also said that the site is in an accessible location that is adequately served by public transport
01:09
and is accessible for pedestrians and cyclists.
01:12
The proposed McDonald's would be close to a separate development of 40 homes by property firm Red Star Robinson,
01:19
who McDonald's have been working closely with in the formulation and evolution of proposals across both sites.
01:25
No passers-by that we spoke to wanted to appear on camera to share their views,
01:29
but there definitely seems to be a mixed reaction.
01:32
Some feel a restaurant on the site would be better than what's there now,
01:36
while others cited traffic concerns and the close proximity of three other McDonald's outlets.
01:41
A final decision will be made in the coming weeks.
