COFFEE company Costa has submitted plans for its approved Maldon drive-thru at the former Quest Motors site.

The application submitted to Maldon District Council comes after plans were approved for development at the vacant Quest Motors site in Wycke Hill Business Park.

Quest Motor Group moved out of Maldon in April after nearly 100 years in the town.

Barkby Real Estate Development Limited's plans for a "mixed-use development" at the site made up of an autocentre with vehicle repair, MOT testing, showroom, car parking, and a drive-though Costa Coffee shop were approved in October.

Now Costa have submitted an application for advertisement consent.

Plans include three fascia signs, roof letters, cut out hearts & darts, a pick me up sign, a 'great coffee starts here', a pole sign, one height barrier, one exit sign, and two banner frames for the approved Costa drive-thru.

Barkby Real Estate's agent told councillors in October the development at Quest Motors would deliver up to 45 jobs and further jobs would be created during the construction phase.

Maldon District Council will rule on the new application.
