Lidl plans major expansion at Waterson Vale site in Moulsham
What happened
Lidl has submitted plans to Chelmsford City Council for a major expansion of one of its stores at Waterson Vale in Moulsham. The scheme involves demolishing the existing retail building, which is shared by Lidl and Farmfoods, and constructing a new supermarket that would be more than double the current footprint. The proposed new store would measure 2,238 square meters, up from 1,070 square meters, and include a 98-space car park. The public notice regarding the application is available through a portal created by local newspapers in conjunction with Google.
Why it matters
The expansion aims to allow Lidl to offer customers a wider range of products. The application notes that the scheme would create jobs and help regenerate the area through the construction and subsequent operation of the larger retail site.
