Great to see a planning application for a new Lidl GB store in Poole, Dorset, given permission by BCP Council.

We acted for the applicant and worked closely with project partners to present a convincing case for the development.

There was considerable support for the scheme within the community. A public consultation held by Lidl showed that 85.4% of respondents (1,073 people) were in favour while 11.3% (142 people) were against and 3.3% (42 people) were undecided.

The new supermarket is expected to provide employment for about 40 full and part time staff and about 15 full and part time employees within an accompanying drive-through coffee shop.

Project partners included Abbas Ecology, ACS, CarneySweeney, Charles Trent Ltd, Clarke Saunders Acoustics, Godsell Arnold Partnership Limited, Lidl Great Britain Ltd, Mayer Brown Ltd, (SMR) Smalley Marsey Rispin Architects Ltd and RPS Group.

The planning approval has been reported by the Bournemouth Daily Echo here.  Contact us to find out more about the scheme.
