Supermarket giant Lidl has triumphed over rival Sainsbury's to land permission for a new Liverpool store.
The German budget chain submitted plans to build a new supermarket and a Tim Horton's coffee shop on land around Great Homer Street in Everton. The company wants to build a 1,400sqm retail store on land bordering Skirving Street and Jennifer Avenue.
Lidl's plans came before Liverpool City Council's Planning Committee today. As well as hearing the company's hopes for the development, councillor's heard strong opposition from Sainsbury's which has a store close to the planned build site.
