Good news for kebab-lovers living near Bolton, because the city could be getting a huge drive-thru kebab restaurant.

As reported by MEN, Bolton council have been presented with plans for a two-storey drive-thru kebab shop and they are, apparently, in support of the planning application.

The council have even gone so far as to create CGI renders of what the restaurant could look like. In the images there are two potential logos and names for the drive-thru, including ‘Kebabs Done Right’ or ‘German Doner Kebab’.

A small snag in the plans, however, is that the restaurant would need five onsite parking spots but at the moment there is only one.

The Bolton Highways Department said they would need more information about the plans before they could come to a decision.

In their response, they say: “Owing to the premises location in relation to the highways around the town centre of Bolton, the applicant will need to submit some form of transport statement in order to justify the proposed change of use.

“The statement should provide a rough indication as to how accessibility to the premises will be controlled and how abuse of the one-way system on Gas Street will be prevented, as well as giving a rough indication of traffic impact from the proposed use.

“In its present form there is insufficient information available within the submission for the Highway Authority to fully comment.”

Planners in Bolton will now have a period of consultation with neighbours of the potential restaurant before considering the plans.

Speaking of drive-thrus and kebabs, did you hear about the woman who accidently ordered 250ml of garlic sauce from her local takeaway?

Hannah Louise posted a picture of her incredible garlic sauce order that she got from her local Turkish restaurant on Twitter, and it attracted a lot of attention.
