Supermarket Plans New Lisburn Store
Supermarket company Lidl have lodged plans for a new store in Lisburn.
This is the third planning application for a store at the junction of Antrim Road and Prince William Road in Lisburn.
A spokesperson for Lidl said: "The new planning application for the Bentrim Road in Lisburn has now been revised and scaled down, seeking approval for a Lidl store of 1365 square metres only.
"The design of this store would be the very first of its kind in Northern Ireland and represents a new look, ultra modern store, which aims to further enhance the shopping experience.
"Lidl can confirm that it has commenced works to clear this dilapidated site and has enlisted the services of a tree surgeon to ensure that the protected trees are preserved. This work is being carried out with full support from the local council and PSNI."
Lower Antrim Road Residents Group, which campaigned against the original planning application in 2008, believe locals don't want another retail store in a well established residential area.
Lagan Valley MP Jeffrey Donaldson has also spoke out against the proposals with concerns over increased traffic and another retail development being damaging to the city centre.
He said: "We can certainly appreciate the residents viewpoint and will be raising these matters directly with the Planning Service and Lidl themselves."
