A huge ‘drive-thru’ kebab shop could be coming to Bolton town centre

A huge drive-thru kebab restaurant is planned for a prominent town centre spot in Bolton.

A recently submitted planning application seeks to convert vacant premises on Moor Lane, close to Le Mans Crescent and the town hall, into a restaurant with drive-thru.

CGI images published by Bolton Council in support of the application, show the intended transformation of the building into a two-storey restaurant.

The images display the logos ‘Kebabs Done Right’ and ‘German Doner Kebab’ on the front of the building.

The premises, at 38 Moor Lane, have previously been used by local charities.

Both the Mental Health Independent Support Team (MHIST) and Bolton NICE, who develop community and business enterprises and opportunities for employment have previously occupied the Moor Lane building.

The applicants for the proposals are Bolton based Synergie Holdings.

The application form for the change of use of the building from retail to restaurant says the hours of opening for the venture are unknown at this point.

The form adds that five on-site parking spots would be created at the site, there are currently none.

A Bolton highways department response to the application says more information would be needed for them to deliver an opinion.

It states: “Owing to the premises location in relation to the highways around the town centre of Bolton, the applicant will need to submit some form of transport statement in order to justify the proposed change of use.

“The statement should provide a rough indication as to how accessibility to the premises will be controlled and how abuse of the one-way system on Gas Street will be prevented, as well as giving a rough indication of traffic impact from the proposed use.

“In its present form there is insufficient information available within the submission for the Highway Authority to fully comment.”

The plans will be considered by planners in Bolton after a period of consultation with neighbours about the proposals.
