Greenlight given for Lidl redevelopment
Lidl Roscommon Town
Roscommon County Council has approved plans to redevelop the Lidl store in Roscommon Town.
On Friday, the council made the decision subject to 22 conditions.
In April, the company sought 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.
The 2,284sqms 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.
During the application, 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.
