Teignbridge is set to get two new Greggs stores. Plans for a new Greggs in Newton Abbot are being backed for approval when the council meets next week, while a planning application for a new store in Teignmouth has been approved.

Two planning applications by Greggs Plc have been submitted to Teignbridge Council in respect of a building in Market Walk, Newton Abbot.

One application is for new signage and for new air conditioning condensers and extract grilles and the other is for a new sign, one new projecting sign and two internal posters for 3 Market Walk.

Teignbridge Council’s planning committee is being recommended to approve the plans when they meet next Tuesday. The application has to go before the committee as the site includes land owned by the council as part of the Market Walk shopping centre.

The plans are being recommended for approval.

It comes as plans for a new Greggs in Teignmouth’s Wellington Street, in the former 321 Discount Stores premises, was approved last week by planners.

The application for a new timber shopfront, two air conditioning condenser units, one freezer room condenser unit, two extract grilles, brick up rear window and replace double doors at the rear with a single door was considered acceptable.

The ‘food-on-the-go’ retailer, which is the country's largest bakery chain, is famous for its savouries and sandwiches which are freshly prepared throughout the day.

Greggs have already opened three stores in Torbay this year – two in Torquay and one in Paignton.

Plymouth got its first Greggs store in June, while there are also six branches in Exeter, one in Exmouth, one in Tiverton and one in Barnstaple.
