PLANS for improvements at a local McDonald’s branch have been approved. The fast-food outlet at Wall is proposing to refurbish the external of the building as well as refreshing the patio area. A planning statement said:“The application relates to a simple refurbishment, with a new bin store introduced to improve the overall management of waste. “The overall development will ensure that the store is updated to ensure that it remains sustainable. The external changes, while minimal, have been included in line with a larger internal refurbishment.”
