The restaurant is set to open on December 1.
When the plans were first submitted, Chorley Council received 38 complaints, ranging from concerns about noise pollution to increase congestion.
Coun Alistair Morwood said fast food applications were always “contentious”, but that any noise would not be worse than that coming from Tesco’s car park.
