Aldi has claimed that Lancashire County Council is jeopardising plans for a new store in suburban Preston by failing to agree a price for the sale of a small plot of land needed to provide access to the development.
. But BXB Cottam Properties Limited – the firm behind the overarching development – brought the proposal back before the authority’s planning committee a year later to seek an exemption from requested contributions to school places and affordable housing.
The retailer says that the situation is putting the project at risk and has claimed that County Hall has failed to engage properly and “provide clarity” over the value of the plot in question.began work on a fifth at the city’s docklands County Cllr Aidy Riggott has dismissed claims that Lancashire County Council is holding up the construction of the new Aldi and Cottam district centre
The work would involve reconfiguring the access from the Tom Benson Way roundabout, wuth the route widening within the site to accommodate a dedicated right-hand turn lane to ensure that there is sufficient queuing capacity for vehicles heading to the waste recycling centre. Two lanes are to be provided for traffic leaving the district centre and waste facility and heading back out onto the road network.
“This is about the developer expecting Lancashire’s residents to stump up the cost of work that is needed as part of this scheme.“We know that people in Cottam want this supermarket – so do we. “In order to bring forward the development, the developer is negotiating with neighbouring land owners to secure access to the site from Tom Benson Way,” the spokesperson added.Cottam lies at the heart of the North West Preston Masterplan area, where around 5,500 properties are due to be built in the two decades up to the mid-2030s.
“Our largest shops are miles away and with the cost of fuel and [the issue of] pollution, local shops that can be accessed easily and by foot would be a great help.
