THE McDonald's in Christchurch is set for a makeover pending planning permission from the council.

A proposal to extend the Somerford Road restaurant and create a new drive thru booth has been submitted to Christchurch Borough Council.

The eatery wants to freshen up the outside of the restaurant with a new folded roof made of timber and khaki cladding with extensions for a bigger dining capacity and fast forward lane.

This will allow customers to collect their order at different booths.

The new drive-thru booth will allow for a second collection point.

The patio area will also be relocated with new barriers.

Comments are welcome on the plans until June 24.
