Property developer Godwin Developments put forward the plans and also announced the signing of a long-term lease agreement with Costa Coffee.
The 0.66-acre site, located off the A50 Baths Road in Longton, is positioned near Phoenix Retail Park, as well other local amenities.
Under the plans, the current building will be demolished and rebuilt from the ground up to include a modern 1,800 sq. ft. drive to and drive thru unit, which will be occupied by Costa Coffee, and a similar 1,100 sq. ft. unit that will be made available to other potential occupiers. The site's main entrance on Baths Road will be retained and the development will also include parking for 37 cars, plus three disabled and one waiting bay spaces.

Stuart Pratt, group development director for Godwin Developments said: "We are really pleased to have submitted a planning application for this high traffic location and also secured a long-term lease with Costa Coffee. We recognised the site's great development potential from the outset – it has a busy and highly visible retail setting in Stoke-on-Trent - and based on our previous experience with similar operators, we were able to design the site to accommodate Costa’s preferred drive thru unit layout.
"I would like to thank the team at Costa Coffee for their support to-date and we look forward working closely with local planners to deliver the next phase of this new development."
