A bakery chain has had plans to open a new site in Lichfield approved.

Greggs has been granted planning permission to build a unit on land at Crossfield Road.

The outlet will sit opposite the former GKN site which has recently been cleared.

A planning statement said:

> “The application site consists of a parcel of undeveloped land within a predominantly industrial location.  
>  
> “It is proposed to erect a single detached building to form a Greggs unit with six allocated parking spaces.  
>  
> “The proposed Greggs bakery will offer a variety of hot and cold snacks for for consumption on or off the premises.  
>  
> “The business will focus on providing a facility for workers within the immediate industrial estate to purchase at mealtimes during employment hours for local workers in a location which is easily accessible to the local workforce.  
>  
> “In addition, owing to the proximity of Trent Valley Station it is also likely that commuters will provide significant custom to the unit.”
