BARNSLEY is to get its first Starbucks if plans for a drive-through cafe submitted to Barnsley Council are approved.
The new cafe with parking space for 28 vehicles is proposed next to the Rockingham roundabout on the Dearne Valley Parkway, close to the M1 junction at Birdwell, and would be accessed from the new roundabout close to the new KFC and industrial development.
It would be of a modern design based on glass, timber and panelling.
Documents submitted with the planning application say it will create 27 jobs, 15 full time and 12 part time.
Comments on the plan can be made until July 5, and a decision is expected by August 7.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
