Golborne Asda’s owner, EG Group Limited, has applied for planning permission to erect a new single-storey hot drinks seller in the unused section of the car park – opposite the petrol station.
The Edge Green Lane site would see a drive-thru lane, separate car parking and cycle storage, a planning statement claimed. The drive-thru will work in the usual way of ordering at a speaker then driving to a pick up location further down the lane.

“The site is not within proximity to any school, it is in an established retail location with the proposed development to be the only coffee shop in the immediate area. The application site is well situated to serve visitors to the Asda store, other premises in the vicinity or passing by on the road network.
“It benefits from good accessibility by a range of means of transport providing a choice of sustainable transport options for both staff and customers.”
Access to the site would be the same as entering to go to do your big shop at Asda. The existing Asda car park has 333 spaces and the proposed development will lead to a loss of 10 spaces.
