KFC in Buckshaw Village Councillors have demanded more evidence about air quality close to a drive-through fast food outlet before deciding whether to approve to a new children’s nursery nearby. Chorley Council’s planning committee was considering a proposal to build a day care facility for up to 125 children on land off Barnes Wallis Way in Buckshaw Village – just yards from a KFC restaurant. The authority’s planning officers had initially recommended that the application – from Kids Planet Day Nurseries – should be approved. However, several committee members raised concerns about the potential impact on children’s health of playing in an area so close to a procession of vehicles using the neighbouring drive-through – citing an inquest in London which is currently considering whether the death of a nine-year-old girl was linked to air pollution.
