Development Securities has won planning permission for a new 70-bed Premier Inn hotel and a drive-through McDonald’s next to its Atlantic Village shopping centre in North Devon.

The development is the latest extension to the 110,000 sq ft retail scheme which includes Marks and Spencer, Gap and Nike and is anchored by an adjoining ASDA.

Development Securities said: “The planning progress announced today is a significant part of the overall plan to further enhance the value of these locations and follows on from the recent success in securing planning for a 104,000 sq. ft. extension to Atlantic Village which, once developed, will also increase critical mass.”
