The proposed Lidl foodstore will enhance the range and quality of the existing shopping
provision serving residents to the east of Hull City Centre offering high quality food and
excellent value of money in line with Lidl’s company ethos. The proposed development
will also generate a number of job opportunities for local people and it is therefore
considered that the development will provide a key asset for the local community.
