A McDonald 's drive-thru is to be built in the last part of England that does n't have a branch of the burger chain .
Councillors have approved plans to build the drive-thru in Rutland - the last county in England without a McDonald 's .
A planning application for the restaurant north of Oakham town centre triggered more than 50 objections , including claims the `` unsightly '' development would increase litter , impact other traders and undermine 'The Rutland Brand . '

A mother who attended a planning committee meeting on Tuesday said she opposed the plans `` purely for who they are and what they stand for '' .

The planning application was recommended for approval in a report which was presented to Rutland County Council 's planning committee on Tuesday evening - with councillors eventually giving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worth of debate .
The report , which said 23 submissions had been received in support of the application , states : `` The design and layout of the proposal is appropriate in the area .
`` Natural and neutral colours and materials will be used on the building and the size and design of the building would not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area or the amenities of nearby residential properties .
`` The site represents an appropriate location for a drive-thru restaurant . ''
McDonald 's staged a consultation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which was attended by almost 400 people .
The chain 's plans to develop the `` wasteland '' site off Lands End Way include a 6.75 metre-high sign , odour control measures , and patrols to collect litter in the local area .
The successful applicant , Martin Cuthbert , who will become the manager of the franchise , said he was `` confident now is the right time to open a restaurant '' in Oakham , describing the fast food chain as `` safe and family-friendly '' .
Mr Cuthbert said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ customers from `` both Oakham and passing traffic - and particularly people visiting Rutland Water '' .

A McDonald's drive-thru is to be built in the last part of England that doesn't have a branch of the burger chain.
Councillors have approved plans to build the drive-thru in Rutland - the last county in England without a McDonald's.
A planning application for the restaurant north of Oakham town centre triggered more than 50 objections, including claims the "unsightly" development would increase litter, impact other traders and undermine 'The Rutland Brand.'
Others opposed the drive-thru, which would create around 65 jobs, voicing fears it will increase anti-social behaviour and devalue local houses.
A mother who attended a planning committee meeting on Tuesday said she opposed the plans "purely for who they are and what they stand for".
But Edward Baines, the chair of Rutland County Council's planning committee, told members of the public the issue was "one of land usage and not the grounds of the applicant".
The planning application was recommended for approval in a report which was presented to Rutland County Council's planning committee on Tuesday evening - with councillors eventually giving it the go-ahead after an hour's worth of debate.
The report, which said 23 submissions had been received in support of the application, states: "The design and layout of the proposal is appropriate in the area.
"Natural and neutral colours and materials will be used on the building and the size and design of the building would not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area or the amenities of nearby residential properties.
"The site represents an appropriate location for a drive-thru restaurant."
McDonald's staged a consultation event in Oakham in May last year, which was attended by almost 400 people.
The chain's plans to develop the "wasteland" site off Lands End Way include a 6.75 metre-high sign, odour control measures, and patrols to collect litter in the local area.
The successful applicant, Martin Cuthbert, who will become the manager of the franchise, said he was "confident now is the right time to open a restaurant" in Oakham, describing the fast food chain as "safe and family-friendly".
Mr Cuthbert said he was expecting the restaurant to attract customers from "both Oakham and passing traffic - and particularly people visiting Rutland Water".
In a submission included in the planning officer's report, Oakham In Bloom's chairman said the all-volunteer charity felt obliged to object to the application on the terms the application had set out.
Commenting on the original planning application, the group's submission stated: "In our opinion the landscaping would create a stark and ugly environment for people that would be incongruous with its surroundings.
"It would have a negative effect on the town. Such eyesores, once built will be there for decades."
McDonald's has agreed to use stone on parts of the exterior of the single-storey drive-thru, as well as khaki green, timber-effect aluminium to achieve a "subtle natural feel" to the building.
A McDonald's spokesperson said: "We are delighted that the Rutland Planning Committee has approved our application for a new restaurant in Oakham.
"Over the last year, we carried out an extensive consultation process, speaking to local residents about our plans and have been heartened by the levels of support we have received.
"The new McDonald's will create at least 65 new jobs for local people, and we're excited about working alongside the local community."

Bayer Leverkusen 's Kai Havertz has been the subject of an enquiry by United , according to a report by The Athletic .

Havertz hit the net seventeen times last season , but has so far failed to replicate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the map in this current season .
Of course , the Red Devils face a similar issue with Havertz as they do with Grealish - the club that they want to persaude to sell , does not want to entertain a negotiation for a star player in January .
Havertz may draw United 's attention away from both Grealish and Leicester City 's James Maddison in the summer , though .
Our Claret & Blue podcast had plenty to say about bids for Grealish , who has been shopped out to a number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Warnock , Emile Heskey and Darren Bent : '' If Grealish represents the best chance of Villa staying in the Premier League , and getting that £100m which is more likely than selling Grealish for that figure - just in that basic sense , forget about all the symbolism of Grealish and how much he loves Villa , just in purely business and commercial purposes , it doesn ’ t make any sense .

Any move that Aston Villa had in mind for Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah has hit a dead end if a mix-up on the Gunners' official website is to be believed.
Villa loan target Nketiah was listed on Arsenal's official squad page with a Leeds badge - to denote his status as a Leeds United loan player. The Bristol Post note that this was changed to a Bristol City badge , briefly, before it was reverted to a Leeds badge by Arsenal staff.
No official announcement has been made yet by Arsenal, who are seeking a new playing destination for Nketiah for the rest of the season - but it would seem that Villa will have to look elsewhere for striking reinforcements.
Nketiah spent the first half on loan at Leeds United, but failed to make a major breakthrough. The Arsenal loanee was used sparingly as a substitute.
Villa can still loan another Premier League player - but the player cannot be from Chelsea FC due to Danny Drinkwater's arrival at the club.

Villalba came through the ranks at Valencia and, following a loan stint at Numancia, left the Mestalla in the summer to join Pep Clotet’s side.
He has made 17 Championship appearances for Clotet, with 15 of those being starts, but has fallen out of favour in recent weeks.
His only goal came in October’s 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough and St Andrew’s Stadium.

World Cup winner Steven Nzonzi has been linked with a move to Aston Villa.
According to The Mirror, Nzonzi - on loan at Galatasaray from Roma - could be about to cut his loan short and move to Villa.
It'd mean a return to England for the former Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City midfielder - who left England in 2015. Since moving away from Stoke - Nzonzi completed a £27 million move to Roma, and won the FIFA World Cup with France in 2018.
Nzonzi has spent this current season in Turkey with Galatasary, but has fallen out of favour after being hit with a suspension due to his behaviour in a training session.
Who is Nzonzi, though? And what can he bring to Villa? Let's take a look in this latest lowdown.
Name: Steven N'Kemboanza Nzonzi
Age: 31
Nationality: French
Current Club: Galatasaray (on loan from Roma)
Club History
Nzonzi's youth career saw him move from Racing Paris to Paris Saint-Germain, where he was converted into a forward due to his stature. Nzonzi then moved to CA Lisieux and Caen, before eventually settling for a stay at Amiens SC.
At Amiens, Nzonzi made his professional debut in November 2007, and signed his first professional contract with the club, eventually becoming Amiens' starting midfielder.
Amien's poor performances led to relegation, but Nzonzi starred and was linked with a move to England. Blackburn Rovers moved in to completed a £650,000 deal with the French club to bring Nzonzi - labelled as the 'next Patrick Viera' to the Premier League.
Twenty year-old Nzonzi spent three seasons at Blackburn, playing in eighty-six Premier League matches after quickly establishing himself in the first-team. In 09/10 - his first season with the Lancashire side - he was chosen by fans as the Blackburn Rovers player of the year.
As Blackburn were relegated, Nzonzi sought to stay in the Premier League and made the move south to Stoke City in a £3 million deal. The midfielder won the man of the match award in his Potters debut against Manchester City in 2012, but his temperature flared in a number of other performances.

Nzonzi picked up sixteen yellow cards, and was sent off twice during his time at Stoke - by far the worst on-pitch discplinary record of his career. His coach at the time - David Kemp - warned him to keep his temperament in check. This was followed by a warning from assistant manager Mark Bowen who advised Nzonzi to 'stop sulking.'
This did not stop him from earning the club's player of the year award in 2015 - shortly before a £7 million move to La Liga and Sevilla was completed.
Unlike Stoke and Blackburn, Nzonzi struggled to get off to a good start in Spain - but managed to get to grips with a new style of football before his first season at Sevilla finished.
By the time he came to leave Sevilla, Nzonzi was often the first name on the team sheet. He made nearly one-hundred appearances for the club before Roma came calling in 2018.
Roma offered Sevilla a lot of money to claim Nzonzi, nearly £27 million was spent by the Serie A side in their chase for the midfielder.
Nzonzi hit the ground running at Roma, and added bite and determination to Roma's midfield. Despite this, he only spent one season in Italy before being loaned out to Galatasaray in 2019.
Nzonzi has appeared in the Super Lig and Champions League for the Turkish club, but was suspended after he allegedly walked off the training pitch before a session finished.
Because of this, a new twist could emerge in Nzonzi's career.
Honours
Nzonzi has been recognised for his abilities on plenty of occassions. In 2010 he was named as the Blackburn Rovers player of the year, and followed this up by winning the Stoke City player of the year award in 2015. The season after, he was named in the UEFA Europa League squad of the season during his time at Sevilla, who also claimed the UEFA Europa League that same season.

Nzonzi was tipped to play for the Democractic Republic of the Congo due to his parental heritage - but failed to make an appearance. There was also an attempt to switch his international allegiance to that of England - but this fell through due to a France U21 appearance in his past.
Nzonzi's international career kicked off in 2017, with a senior call-up to the French national side, and the midfielder was part of the team that lifted the FIFA World Cup in 2018.
Numbers
The defensive midfielder has made 325 league appearances across the Turkish Super Lig, the English Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, scoring eighteen goals and making an equal number of assists.
In his career, Nzonzi has picked up fifty-two yellow cards, and has been sent for an early bath on four separate occassions. He earned most of those cards in the Premier League.
Nzonzi's defensive attributes are best highlighted by his complete lack of involvement in the attack and attacking movements. He has 0.06 goals per 90 minutes in his career thus far.
Strengths
A combative midfielder, Nzonzi was known to add a tenacious ability and 'muscle' to Roma's midfield.
Comfortable in possession, Nzonzi has a large array of passes in his locker, and the Patrick Viera comparisons are obvious.
Nzonzi prefers to sit in the middle and win the ball - before laying off to a teammate.
Weaknesses
Nzonzi's temperament has been picked out as a weakness by fans and managers alike. He was told twice to control himself at Stoke, and eventually left the club.
For a player who anchors the team, this could be an issue. An early sending off due to a rash decision is rare for the player - but happens more often to him than it does to others.
A fit for Villa?
Nzonzi is an odd link for Villa at a time when the club need a striker, but Villa's main weakness isn't up-front - despite the lack of a frontman.
The side are leaky and are conceding heavily. Tyrone Mings can only do so much, and Villa's midfield - no matter who is in it - are being run through at will.
Nzonzi is a clear fit for Villa, but a loan move represents a large opportunity cost as it would mean that a valuable loan slot would be taken up by another midfielder - at a time when Villa could do with using it on a striker.

Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Rafa Mir has joined Spanish second division side SD Huesca on an 18-month loan.
The 22-year-old joined Championship side Nottingham Forest in the summer on a season-long loan, but struggled for game time at the City Ground.
He was recalled by Wolves and immediately sent back out on loan to Spain.

Forest boss Lamouchi hinted on New Year’s Day that Mir would return to Wolves.
He told NottinghamshireLive: “Probably, yes.
“We need to decide with the club.
“But everything is under control from the club and they know exactly what I want and what we need. They are working hard for that.”

A BMW pulled up, Miles was the driver and Blake in the passenger seat, the court was told.
Earlier there had been a confrontation between Miles and another man and Mr Teer had been with that other man.
Mr Burrows said Mr Teer “must have been shot at relatively close range” with “two shots to the head.”
He said the medical cause of death was shotgun wounds to the face. He said Blake shot Mr Teer and he sustained injuries as a result of the recoil. Mr Burrows said: "Plainly it was planned. Miles and Blake were driving around with a loaded shotgun. Their target was James Teer.
"The gun was fired deliberately and the gun was fired twice. Plainly they were out to kill him. The two men had to trust each other hours after the shooting. You will see the two men drove off together.”
He said the men were charged with burglary and theft of the car.
Mr Burrows said a woman’s house was burgled and the keys to the BMW were stolen.
There was a mass of information which showed the involvement of others in particular the two women, he said. They are charged with burglary, theft and murder.
He said CCTV showed those involved in the burglary were driving a Seat Leon. Mr Burrows said: "Miles and Malin accept they were involved in stealing the car.
"The purpose of stealing the car was for the purpose of the shooting. They needed to get the car to Birmingham.

CCTV showed it bearing false number plates, he said.
That day Joliffe had been at work at Pertemps and had been in phone contact with Malin.
Just after 6pm Malin phoned Miles who was in Birmingham. Mr Burrows told the jury: "In the hour beforehand they made sure the car was ready to use and that they had the gun and the ammunition. They would not want others to see them with the gun. The Seat Leon pulled up and parked behind the stolen BMW.”
Mr Burrows said Miles claimed that Blake was the gunman and that Blake shot MrTeer.
He said Blake claimed Miles had the weapon. Mr Burrows said: "Each now blames the other. What is in issue is who the gunman was. It is the prosecution case that Ty Blake was injured by the recoil.”
He said there was later CCTV of what appeared to be Blake being passed a toilet roll. There were phone calls to someone who was going to help dispose of the gun.
Mr Burrows said there was evidence during that evening that Miles separated from the others and made a number of internet searches of flights to Pakistan the next day.”
Mr Burrows said the car was later examined and DNA matching Miles was found on the steering wheel. DNA matching Blake was found on two blood-stained tissues.
Mr Burrows said Miles answered no comment when quizzed by police.
Blake’s home was searched and police found a bag containing part of a wooden stock from a shotgun.
There were also cartridges found .He said in a prepared statement he had never met James Teer. He said someone asked him to look after the items found in his shead. Mr Burrows said he now accepted he was with Miles and claimed Miles produced a firearm which he knew nothing about.

birminghammail--2020-01-15--'Dip in' - Aston Villa told to complete this January transfer

Aston Villa have been told to sign Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle this month .
Former Villa forward Darren Bent reckons Jonathan Kodjia , who is a top transfer target for Nottingham Forest , should stay at the club .
Gayle has been linked with Villa while Eddie Nketiah ( Arsenal ) , Krzysztof Piatek ( AC Milan ) , Michy Batshuayi ( Chelsea ) and Christian Benteke ( Crystal Palace ) have also been mentioned as possible targets this month .
Villa are in desperate need of a striker , with a new one ideal before the injury to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Burnley that ruled him out for the rest of the season .
Now it 's an absolute priority for head coach Dean Smith , who Bent would like to keep Kodjia around Bodymoor Heath as an experienced deputy .
Smith is understood to be keen on moving on Kodjia this month , with Forest enquiring about his availability in the knowledge that he will be available for a cut-price fee given his contract is up in the summer .
Gayle suffered a hamstring injury on Saturday , when he made only his second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux .
However , he is expected to be back playing as soon as next month .
`` I think Villa in this window need to dip in for a Dwight Gayle or someone like that , '' Bent told Football Insider .

“ If he did go to Villa and they played him , I ’ d expect him to get goals.

He has struggled in the Premier League though , with only 21 strikes in 108 outings .
