00:00 Plans to build a new Burger King dry-through restaurant at Kirkstall Valley Retail Park
00:07 are currently in the works.
00:08 An application has been submitted to build the takeaway by the Morrison's Garage on land
00:13 that's currently fenced off.
00:15 The company behind the development have said that the new restaurant could provide around
00:18 40 jobs.
00:20 Nineteen objections have been lodged on the Leeds City Council planning portal, with most
00:24 flagging concerns about an increased volume of traffic.
00:28 Similar concerns have already been raised about the A65 junction by Kirkstall Leisure
00:32 Centre, which has been the scene of a number of accidents in recent weeks.
00:36 A report from the council's Highways Department suggests that the development would not result
00:40 in a severe impact, subject to mitigation being implemented to improve the junction's
00:45 signal timings, operation and technology.
00:48 A final planning decision is expected in the coming months.
