The drive-thru would be located between PizzaHut and Go Outdoors on site.
About 65 new jobs would be created, whilst the public realm at the retail park will be improved as part of the plans.
McDonald’s already has four restaurants in the town in Colchester High Street, Cowdray Avenue, just off the A12 at junction 28 and at Tollgate in Stanway.
Initial plans state the restaurant could have space for 164 customers and it will feature customer order displays, a children’s play area and a car park area as well as the drive-thru.
But what do you think? Does Colchester need another McDonald's?
