Reasons for the objections included; concerns about increased traffic in the area, the impact the new site could have on independent coffee shops already in the town and concerns about noise and the impact on housing nearby.

Some residents also objected to the plans because they disliked the coffee by the chain and because there were other drive-thru coffee sites not too far away.

Currently there is a Costa Coffee drive-thru site located next to Morrisons in Old Warwick Road in Leamington.
