Lighting
Car park lighting is switched off overnight and is controlled by a lux light sensor during trading hours. Light is directed away from neighbouring properties, and special light shields prevent light spillage.
Landscaping
Our landscaping scheme has been designed to provide biodiversity benefits and also help screen the site from residential neighbours to the north. This includes tree and shrub planting to ensure the site is more attractive and enhances the entrance.
Operational hours and deliveries
Lidl intends to trade Monday to Saturday: between 8am-10pm and Sunday: between 10am- 4pm. This is our standard operating hours and will be agreed with the Local Authority as part of any planning permission.
Store design and location
Acoustic fencing is proposed to minimise noise and reduce visual impact for nearby residents. This is located nearby to the internal delivery bay. A full Noise Impact Assessment will be included as part of the planning application. This document will be reviewed by the Local Authority.
Access
The site benefits from close proximity to residential neighbourhoods. This means more people will be able to walk or cycle to our store rather than rely on private vehicle transport. The Lidl can therefore operate as a community foodstore which is accessible to a full range of local residents.
