Comment:I have several concerns regarding the impact this development will have on the local area, particularly concerning traffic congestion, environmental impact, and social disturbances.

1. Traffic Congestion - The proposed location is situated on an already busy road. With a further influx of vehicles trying to access Mcdonalds, the  congestion will undoubtedly exacerbate existing traffic problems especially during peak times.

2. Increase in Litter - Just in the past week I have noticed an awful amount of McDonalds litter deliberately discarded on West Park. If a McDonalds is built around the corner, this is just going to add to the siginificant litter problem we already face. As a member of the community, I am concerned about the environmental impact and the strain this would place on our local infrastructure.

3. Attracting Anti-Social Behavior - McDonald's locations often become gathering points for individuals engaging in anti-social activities, including groups of boy racers, particularly at night. Given the location of the proposed restaurant, there is a genuine concern that it will attract disruptive behaviour, leading to noise pollution, late-night disturbances, and potential safety risks for local residents. This would detract from the overall quality of life in the area.
I have colleagues that live near the McDonalds that was built in Matlock in 2017 and they are still being affected by the noise pollution it has brought with it. From the speaker of the drive thru and the constnat sound of cars revving and piping their horns late at night
