A PLANNING application has been put forward to Thurrock Council to allow a converted Black Cab to be used as a coffee bar.

It is planned to site the vehicle on land close to All Saints Church on Drake Road in Chafford Hundred between the hours of 8am and 6pm seven days a week. The vehicle will not be a permanent fixture and will be removed each day and while it is parked, its engine will not be running so the applicants say it will not be causing noise or air pollution.

It will sell specialised coffee and cold healthy option sandwiches.

You can read more about the application and comment via the link below.
