New Supermarket Plans Move Forward
June 6, 2011 9:36 AM
Following the granting of outline planning permission in June 2010 for a new superstore at Low Stanners, a detailed planning application will now be submitted to Northumberland County Council. The developers behind the plans, Dransfield Properties, have 'fine tuned' their detailed proposals in the light of a public consultation session held in the Sanderson Arcade in mid-January. The plans include a new 50,000 sq ft town centre supermarket/superstore on two levels, links to the town centre for pedestrians, 283 short stay car parking spaces plus 296 long stay parking spaces underground (a net addition of 380 spaces), widening and improvement of Staithes Lane and a landscaping scheme for the site. If the plans are approved, construction, estimated to cost £24m, is expected to start in June this year with the store opening in 2013. The new store will create up to 290 jobs. A number of major retailers are understood to be competing to run the new store and the winner is likely to announced by Dransfield around Easter.
