A NEW fast-food outlet is looking to open on the edge of Kingskerswell.

McDonald’s plan to occupy a vacant site at Kerswell Gardens off Torquay Road.

Submitted by McDonald's Restaurants Limited, P/2025/0373 is seeking permission for an eight metre illuminated totem sign.

The consultation period ends on Thursday, August 7.

Consultation on P/2024/0765, the application for the drive-thru restaurant, including landscaping, car parking and customer order displays, ended on June 26.

‘The proposal represents a multi-million-pound investment by a national operator in Torquay and the restaurant is expected to employ more than 120 full and part time staff, which McDonald’s seeks to recruit from the local area’, the supporting statement says.

Torbay Council’s planning portal does not give a date for when a decision is to be made one either application.
