The new supermarket and filling station will also include an additional three retail units on the site, which has laid vacant for a number of years.
An open day will be hosted by the agent handling the application, Coalisland-based firm Clarman Partnership in May for the public to have their say on the proposed development.
The application form for the new development states: “Proposed supermarket and petrol forecourt, additional three number retail units with associated car parking, underground fuel tanks and free-standing forecourt canopy.
“Public realm landscaping fronting Church Street. Servicing to the three retail units via Loran Way. Alteration works to proposed new site access via Fountain Road.”
The proposed tenants for the supermarket and attached retail units have not been disclosed as part of the application notice.
More information is expected to be made available to the public ahead of the consultation event on 9 May, ahead of a full planning application being submitted.
