Lincoln’s first Taco Bell has been unanimously approved by City of Lincoln Council.
Taylor Lindsey was granted planning permission in Wednesday’s Planning Committee to turn the former Pizza Hut on Nettleham Road into a drive-thru version of the Mexican-inspired fast food chain.
It will open daily between 11am to 11pm. In a planning statement Taco Bell said the unit will lead to the creation of 25 full-time and 30 part-time jobs opportunities.

The shared car park with KFC would see some “minor reconfiguration” according to the plans.
Development Director Dan Race previously said works were hoped to begin in early spring 2021, with a view to opening the new restaurant in summer 2021.
