BBC Radio Leicester reporterWork can now start on building the first McDonald's in Rutland after the county council approved plans on Tuesday evening.
Rutland was the only county in England without the golden arches, but now there will be a drive-thru restaurant on the edge of Oakham.
A woman, from nearby Barleythorpe, who attended the meeting, told the BBC her concern was the development could attract anti-social behaviour because of the lack of facilities in the area for young people.
Another woman, a mother, said she opposed the plans "purely for who they are and what they stand for".
The authority decided the economic benefits of the fast food chain outweighed any harm.
Deputy council leader Gordon Brown said councillors wanted to protect the unique nature of Rutland, but also had to follow planning law.
The successful applicant, Martin Cuthbert, who will become the manager of the franchise, said he was "confident now is the right time to open a restaurant" in Oakham, describing the fast food chain as "safe and family-friendly".
Mr Cuthbert said he was expecting the restaurant to attract customers from "both Oakham and passing traffic - and particularly people visiting Rutland Water".
