Lidl Great Britain have announced their proposal to deliver a new foodstore on Aylesbury Road, Thame.
The site is currently an office building located adjacent to a large residential development to the east and south of the site. The proposed development will bring a new, affordable discount shopping provision and improve the visual amenity of the surrounding area.
The Proposal
It is proposed to redevelop the site to provide a new Lidl foodstore with associated car parking enveloping the northern portion of the building.
The proposed Lidl foodstore will have a Gross Internal Area of 2,185 sqm, of which 1,516 sqm will be sales area. The remaining floorspace will comprise of warehouse floorspace (448sqm) and ancillary space (221sqm), which will comprise customer toilets, an in-store bakery, staff welfare facilities, ancillary office space and storage / utility space.
The new foodstore will be accessed by the existing access off Aylesbury Road. The proposed development will comprise a total of 130 car parking spaces, including 6 accessible spaces, 9 parent & child spaces, and 2 EV spaces.
There will be separate service area to the east which will be used for deliveries to the Lidl foodstore. The Lidl foodstore would typically receive a maximum of two deliveries per day. All store waste will be stores internally within the warehouse area and will be collected by the delivery vehicle, therefore minimising HGV movement within the site and surrounding area.
