A new Co-op store could be coming to Woodthorpe after a planning application was submitted to build the new convenience store.
The new store would be built on land formerly occupied by a haulage yard at the rear of Sunnyhome, Greendale Road.
A planning statement submitted with the application by applicants Coxmoor Developments says the development will comprise of a new single-storey building, expected to be occupied as a local convenience store together with storage.
It says the building would have a sales area of 255sqm which is below the threshold in the Sunday Trading Act, 1994, meaning that the store will be able to open without restriction, seven days a week.
The plans reveal that access to the retail store will be from Arno Vale Road to a car park which will be laid out to accommodate 13 customer parking spaces, including one disabled space and a parent/child space, with cycle parking and space for delivery vehicles to enter,
In their statement Coxmoor Developments said: “The store will function as a small, local food store helping meet the day-to-day needs of local residents, comprising a local walk-in catchment population and a limited amount of pass-by trade.
“The store is expected to carry a basic range of groceries, ready meals, sandwiches and
snacks, beers, wines and spirits and a range of fresh fruit and vegetables.”
The plans have been submitted to Gedling Borough Council for approval.
