Support Plans for a New Lidl in East Kilbride

Lidl is looking to deliver a contemporary new foodstore with ample parking on the site of the former Atholl House which is located in close proximity to East Kilbride Town Centre.
The aim of this scheme is to deliver a new, modern, and spacious Lidl store which will include an in-store bakery and a range of product lines.

The Proposed Development

A new single storey building will be constructed to accommodate a 1325m2 (sales area) Lidl foodstore. The proposed development will benefit from 120+ free car parking bays including disabled and parent and child spaces.
● Creation of new jobs, at a minimum of £8.45 an hour and with no staff operating on a zero hour contracts.
● The layout provides a stand-alone bakery preparation area where customers can see the products being prepared before being stocked.
● A limited range of product lines will be supplied, which encourages customers to shop with other retailers in the established local centre.
● Contemporary building design.
● The building will be constructed from high quality, modern materials which will present a clean and striking building and allow for functional use within the site.
● Internally the store will be bright and airy, mainly due to the large amount of glazing used, which utilises natural light and helps reduce electricity consumption.
● Lidl stores are also designed to have wide and accessible aisles to allow free movement for all customers throughout the store.
