Decision on Roscommon Lidl redevelopment expected soon
Lidl Roscommon Town
A decision is expected in the coming days on the proposed redevelopment of the Lidl store in Roscommon Town.
The company is seeking permission to demolish the existing discount foodstore and boundary wall at the north west of the Lanesboro Road site, and to build a replacement, single storey, discount foodstore, which will include an off-licence sales area. If granted it will have a total gross area of 2,284sqms, and a net sales area of 1,555sqms.
The proposed development will have 101 parking spaces, with dedicated electric vehicle parking and cycle parking, a trolley bay canopy, and photovoltaic panels on the roof.
As well as landscaping and all associated site works, there will also be new pedestrian access points at the north west of the site; and a minor amendment to the kerbline of the vehicle access layout.
However a number of issues were raised by the council in relation to a road safety audit, improved surface water drainage, a more suitable boundary treatment, additional electric vehicle charging spaces and updated elevation drawings. In June, it sought further information from the company, which was subsequently provided.
A decision is expected on the application by November 8th.
