Controversial plans for new Lidl supermarket on greenbelt site to be decided this week
Plans for a new Lidl supermarket, 43 retirement apartments, four football pitches and a 91-space commuter car park for Bromley Cross train station are to be decided on this week.
On Thursday, the council’s planning committee will again deliberate on the he 27-acre site chosen for the new supermarket, with a car park for 125 vehicles, which is partially located within the green belt and part of it is considered to be a site of ‘biological importance’. The applicant said that the car park would ease current on-street parking pressures associated with the railway station. The site is subject to an agreement from 1934 made between Arthur H Ashworth and the Urban District Council of Turton, known as the Birtenshaw Covenant.
As the development would be a breach of the covenant, a decision on that would need to be made separately by the council’s cabinet. 13 letters of objection have been received, nine of which are from local residents.
