New Lidl by 'dangerous' junction knocked back but three other controversial plans approved
A new Lidl planned near a 'busy and dangerous' junction in South Manchester has been knocked back at the town hall. Plans for the new supermarket in Chorlton which have divided opinion locally have been rejected by councillors.
This includes giving the go ahead to a retirement living complex in Didsbury which was thrown out by the council and dismissed at an appeal last year. New courts at a tennis club in Didsbury were also approved despite noise concerns.And plans to refurbish and build new student halls in Ardwick were given the green light after the number of disabled parking spaces was doubled. But the committee was not convinced that the plans for a new Lidl should go ahead.
Lidl made several changes to the plans to address road safety concerns such as providing more cycling spaces - including for cargo bikes - and proposing to put safety bollards on Nell Lane. But they did not agree to all of the demands from local councillors which includes contributing to school crossing patrols.
Local resident Julie Froud told the committee on Thursday that this land - which is home to an empty office building last used as a temporary site for a school - is 'wholly inappropriate' for a large supermarket. She said: "This is a highly problematic location positioned at a busy and dangerous junction."
