Plans for a new Lidl store on the site of a former nursing home in Belle Vale have been met with criticism from a rival supermarket.
The German retailer has lodged an application to open a new store on Childwall Valley Road but the plans have been objected to by Morrisons which has a branch of its own less than a mile away. Liverpool Council ’s planning committee will decide the matter when it meets on Tuesday.
Documents submitted as part of Lidl’s application detail how it also expects to draw 35% of its trade from a nearby Aldi store on Gateacre Park Drive. The report said the popular brand is seeking to open a new store on land previously occupied by a pub, bookmakers and Childwall Brook Nursing Home.
