FAST food lovers could soon sample the Colonel's chicken from the comfort of their car because new plans to open a drive-thru KFC restaurant in Crawley have been submitted to the council.
Cobra Restaurants Ltd and Gatwick Airport have jointly applied to build a restaurant on a site north of the Ring Road North at Gatwick Airport's South Terminal.
The planned restaurant would provide both eat-in and drive-thru facilities.
This is the second time in a year similar proposals have been put forward to Crawley Borough Council.
Last year the council's development control committee rejected the proposal because of the loss of woodland, trees and related ecology it would cause.
The developer has taken this on board and created a new scheme that would protect more trees through building a smaller restaurant and reducing the size of the planned car park.
The council's planning officers are due to announce a decision on the plans by March 31.
