Plans for a McDonalds restaurant and drive-thru on a supermarket car park have been approved.
The bid to bring another fast food outlet run by the franchise chain to Great Yarmouth brings the total number to three.
The scheme at Asda in Acle New Road is said to create 35 full time and 30 part time jobs, according to the applicant.
In determining the proposal officers at Great Yarmouth Borough Council noted the new restaurant was not near any schools.
Although it was noted it could lead to more traffic queuing in the area a report said the impact was unlikely to be severe.

It will also involve the reconfiguration of the click-and-collect area.
