Hollies Transport Cafe, which has served the likes of Tom Jones and Bernard Manning, is looking to transform shrub land off the A5 Watling Street for the bays.
South Staffordshire Council approved the planning application on Tuesday.

Councillor Leslie Ashley said: "We are very pleased with the expansion and work that has already taken place at the Hollies.
"From what it was before to what it is today is a substantial improvement.
