Support Lidl Bingley

Bingley Town Centre is currently only served by one small – medium sized foodstore and a small number of convenience stores.

You may be aware that in February 2017, Lidl acquired the old Bradford & Bingley Headquarters on Main Street to build the first Lidl store in Bingley. A state of the art, new Lidl store is proposed which would provide a spacious and attractive shopping environment for residents of Bingley in a conveniently accessible location at the heart of the town centre.

The proposed Lidl store would significantly enhance the range of foodstore provision in
the town centre, increasing local choice and competition, clawing back spending which is currently leaking to out of centre stores.

The proposals include:
• A new 2,240 sqm (gross)/1,325 sqm (net sales area) store;
• A bespoke design with extensive glazed areas to provide an active frontage to Main Street;
• 116 car parking spaces, including 7 disabled spaces, and 8 parent and toddler spaces;
• The upgrade of the Main Street / Myrtle Place junction;
• A new pedestrian link into the development from Main Street; and,
• Hard and soft landscaping, including areas of buffer planting around the northern and western boundaries of the site to soften the appearance of the new store.

The proposed store will be developed in line with Lidl’s latest format and be of a contemporary and high quality design whilst using stone to complement the surrounding areas.
The proposed development is likely to have a positive effect on existing shops and businesses in the town centre through increased visitor numbers and link trips with the new store.
