In the planning statement, agent NJL Consulting said: “This investment in key emerging infrastructure goes significantly beyond local policy aspirations, and plays an important role in meeting government zero-emissions targets.”
The statement adds that the new Starbucks will generate 20 jobs in both full and part-time roles with additional jobs during the constructions and fitting.
A decision by Wiltshire Council on the bid is expected to come on May 17, 2021.
Proposed site plan for Bath Rd Starbucks drive-thru
UK-wide Starbucks is creating 400 new jobs as customers return to the coffee giant as lockdown restrictions continue to ease.
These jobs will be available in nearly 200 shops in high streets, city centres and drive-thru locations – such as the one proposed for Chippenham.
This is in anticipation of a busy summer in the UK once social distancing ends in June.
