Lidl lodge plans for massive €45 million development in Newbridge

Lidl have lodged plans to build a massive Regional Distribution Centre in Newbridge as they look to further build their empire in the county.

The new centre will be on the same site as the existing Lidl Ireland premises on the Great Connell Road in the town, with a massive new warehouse covering an area of 57,608 sq metres in total. There will be a total of 258 car parking spaces also provided on the site, while there will also be sprinkler tanks, a pump house and a security cabin brought in as part of the development.

The plans were lodged by Lidl Ireland on May 3, and it is expected that the new project will cost upwards on €45 million.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared and will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application. The development site is bounded by Great Connell Road (also known as Connell Drive) and the existing Lidl distribution centre warehouse to the southwest, Pfizer complex to the northwest and farmland to the north, east and south.
