An industrial site could be getting a Costa Coffee drive-thru.

Medway City Estate in Strood could see the new addition after Southfleet-based Goldex Investments Ltd put forward the plans.

Costa Coffee is hoping to build a drive-thru on the land at the start of Medway City Estate (55583876)

The proposals submitted to Medway Council also include space for a warehouse which would be used to store classic cars.

If the plans get the go ahead, the units would have a separate entrance to the neighbouring McDonald's and Co-op petrol station in an attempt to prevent queues.

The site close to the estate's entrance, next to Whitewall Creek, is currently unoccupied and overgrown with vegetation.

Customers would be able to sit in or take away from Costa, which will have 30 parking spaces.
