McDonalds along busy Cambridge road wants to open for longer

McDonalds on Newmarket Road Seeks Longer Opening Hours

A McDonalds branch on the busy Newmarket Road in Cambridge wants to extend its opening hours, despite two previous refusals. The request aims to open from 6am until 11pm every day, adding an extra hour in the morning compared to its current hours of 7am to 11pm daily.

Application Details

Representing the McDonalds, Savills submitted the application to extend the hours. They state the proposed change is “not considered to result in any unacceptable impact” on nearby residents. The letter highlights that surrounding businesses have varied opening times.

“For example, Papa Johns is open until 3am each day of the week. This application simply seeks to extend the trading hours by an additional hour from that which is currently approved.”

“We therefore anticipate that the proposal is entirely acceptable in terms of the extra hour of operation in the early morning trading period as no complaints have been received.”

Customer and Economic Impact

Savills noted that most customers arrive in the early morning and emphasized the economic benefits of opening an hour earlier. They argue that it would help meet customer demand without disrupting the local community.

Summary

The McDonalds on Newmarket Road seeks approval to start trading from 6am, expecting a positive impact on business and no disturbance to residents, citing neighbors with longer hours as precedents.
