Drive-thrus cleared by Doncaster Council

The 618-acre Unity development will welcome McDonald’s and Starbucks in 2025 following planning approval.

Unity is being delivered by Waystone Hargreaves Land, and will comprise 3,000 homes and up to 2m sq ft of industrial and business space,  together with a local centre and community facilities.

Due to open in late summer 2025, a 4,500 sq.ft McDonald’s restaurant will be situated on land to the east of Connect Drive and north of Unity Way, within the ‘Unity Connect’ zone of the development.

Starbucks’ 1,840 sq.ft Starbucks drive-thru is also expected to open in September 2025 and will sit adjacent to the new McDonald’s and 4 EV charging points.

Unity Connect saw the completion of the Doncaster 191 unit around a year ago.

Andrew Johnson, director at the Waystone Hargreaves Land joint venture, said: “Popular roadside amenities are a vital component in the creation of viable and self-sufficient mixed-use developments. We look forward to the new Starbucks and McDonald’s opening next year to provide a destination for employees and visitors, as well as benefiting the local residents of Hatfield, Stainforth and Dunscroft.”

A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “We are excited about the opportunity to open a new restaurant in Doncaster next year, bringing significant investment and up to 110 full and part-time jobs to the local area.”

“Popular roadside amenities are a vital component in the creation of viable and self-sufficient mixed-use developments”
This is the opposite of the truth. Car-centric developments are not self-sufficient nor are they ever mixed-use
