This petition is closed.
The application site comprises the former Middlefields Day Centre for Adults and Children’s Resource Centre off Bristol Road, Chippenham. The site is broadly rectangular in shape and currently includes a range of single and two storey dilapidated buildings and has a total site area of 2.36 ha in size.
The proposed development will demolish the existing buildings and erect a new Lidl food store with associated car parking, servicing and landscaping to the east of the site, adjacent to the proposed 100% affordable housing development. The details of the proposed residential development will be available to view at the consultation event but are being prepared separately by Green Square and are not detailed as part of our material.
The site area for the new food store is approximately 1.14 ha and will extend to 2,125 sq. m gross internal area with net sales of 1,325 sq. m. The new food store will be supported by 161 car parking spaces, including 10 dedicated disabled spaces and 10 parent and child spaces. Secure cycle storage will also be provided.
A new vehicular access off Hungerdown Lane will be delivered to accommodate all traffic to and from the site, including deliveries. Two dedicated pedestrian accesses to the site will be provided directly from Hungerdown Lane and Bristol Road.
It is proposed that the food store will be open between the hours of:
• 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday (including Bank Holidays), and
• 10am to 4pm or 11am to 5pm Sunday
Benefits of the proposed development
• The development of the site will provide the following benefits to the local area:
• A purpose built store which provides a clean and fresh shopping experience to meet the needs of customers;
• A dedicated in-store bakery;
• Improved shopping choice and provision of a new mainstream discount operator for Chippenham and the surrounding area;
• A contemporary building design that will complement the surrounding area;
• Employment opportunities, including up to 40 new retail jobs for local residents;
• Landscaping will improve the visual amenity of the site including soft landscaping around the boundary of the site.
We, the undersigned, fully support Lidl's proposed application for a new food store at Hungerdown Lane,, Chippenham.
We agree to our petition data being used to lobby local Councillors and Wiltshire Council.
