Lidl has purchased the former council office building site and wishes to replace it with a new modern and affordable foodstore. Lidl believes this site is an ideal location to serve residents in Amersham and bring this site back into productive use. The proposals include:
A new Lidl store built to our very latest specification, including modern in-store facilities like Lidl’s popular bakery, and a sales area including your favourite products
124 customer parking spaces including 6 accessible, 9 parent & child bays, 2 EV chargers, and cycle parking
The store would be accessed from King George V Road. Cycle and pedestrian access would also be provided
Around 40 jobs for local people, including full and part-time roles. Lidl GB pay rates for hourly-paid colleagues is a minimum of £13 per hour, increasing to £13.95 with length of service
A new landscaping scheme will propose planting to enhance the site
Lidl has an ongoing commitment to enhance the environmental sustainability of its stores. A range of technology is used in store to minimise energy use, while rapid electric vehicle chargers for two vehicles are provided in the parking area.
Following conversations with local residents, Lidl has revised its plans to better reflect the character of the area. A brick façade has now been incorporated into the design, enhancing its visual appeal. To further improve safety and reduce antisocial behaviour, Lidl now plans to install a vehicle access barrier on the rear service road. Additionally, Lidl has proposed relocating the nearby coach bays on King George V Road away from the proposed car park entrance to enhance site safety and access.
