Lovin' It! Play Area Could Join New McDonald's Development In Lake

A children’s play space with a slide, mirror and floor netting could be included in an approved multi-million-pound McDonald’s development on the Isle of Wight.

McDonald’s Restaurants has asked County Hall for a variation of conditions attached to planning consent for a restaurant next to Newport Road in Lake, with car parking, landscaping and associated works.

The fast-food giant’s agent, Planware, said the latest application is to allow for minor amendments to the scheme layout, building elevations and drainage.

The play facility has two levels and would be sited next to the building’s entrance.

Planning committee members voted for the original McDonald’s proposal at a meeting last July where economic benefits and Bay Area regeneration were cited as grounds in favour of the development.

Members of the public have until July 17 to comment on the latest application, 26/00712/RVC, which is due to be decided on August 12.
