Target: Sevenoaks District Council
Region: United Kingdom
Background (Preamble):

| September 4, 2011 |
Lidl have acquired the former Caffyns car dealership on London Road in Sevenoaks and will shortly be submitting a planning application for a new neighbourhood discount food store. The store will have a net sales area of 1,286m² with 70 surface level parking bays.
Our proposal will regenerate the site by replacing the dated car showroom and unsightly workshop building with a modern, efficient discount food store. 95% of Lidl’s offer is own brand products, generating an average annual turnover comparable to a Tesco Express (circa £3m). A large Waitrose, Tesco or Sainsbury’s could have a turnover of £20m - £50m.
Lidl's limited range of products and modest turnover will ensure that the impact on Sevenoaks town centre is negligible.
The development would not only aid competition in Sevenoaks, but will also bring greater shopping choice to local residents and create up to 40 new local jobs.
Petition:
We, the undersigned, fully support Lidl's application for the provision of a neighbourhood food store on the former Caffyns car dealership site at 80 London Road, Sevenoaks. We agree to our petition data being used to lobby local Councillors and Sevenoaks District Council.
