Lidl takes pride in providing its customers with the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices.
Our proposals for Leighton Buzzard include:
A new Lidl store built to our very latest specification, including modern in-store facilities like Lidl’s popular bakery, a 1,516 sqm sales area and customer toilets with baby changing facilities
129 parking spaces including 7 accessible, 9 parent & child bays and cycle parking
Around 40 jobs for local people including full and part-time roles, with entry-level staff receiving Lidl’s competitive £12.40 per hour starting pay
New landscaping scheme to enhance the site, including retention of existing trees and additional planting
Enhanced environmental features including solar panels on the roof and rapid electric vehicle chargers for two vehicles in the parking area. Lidl has an ongoing commitment to enhance the sustainability of its stores
This site is well located to the south of the town centre and is easily accessible from nearby homes and businesses.
Lidl will provide cycle parking in a highly visible location at the side of the store.
The site is well-located for the bus network, with a bus stop close by on Billington Road.
The planning application will include a detailed Transport Assessment, which will be reviewed by Central Bedfordshire Council’s highways team. The Transport Assessment will take into consideration issues such as Lidl’s expected busiest periods.
The proposed Lidl would be accessed via Billington Road. A pedestrian access is also proposed from Chartmoor Road.
