Stockport planning committee discussed the application at their latest meeting
The plan for a Greggs drive-thru in Stockport is yet to be decided after councillors questioned the impact it could have on traffic.

A study had been conducted making comparisons to another Greggs operating in Mansfield with a similar expected footfall. That study suggested only around 16 new trips through the junction at peak times.
Chair of the committee, Coun Steve Gribbon, said: “There is no way I cannot think it will not be a busy place. Especially once you get tailbacks from people wanting food.
