New Supermarket Approved Despite Water Worries

Lidl's initial supermarket in Northstowe, Cambridgeshire, has been granted planning permission. The proposed location is Station Road.

Anglian Water expressed concerns that the local Water Recycling Centre (WRC) may not have sufficient capacity to handle the increased usage from the new supermarket.

Despite these objections, the plans garnered substantial support from the community, with only two residents formally objecting compared to 37 in favor.

This development coincides with South Cambridgeshire District Council's own planning application for a new town hub, intended to include essential community facilities like a GP surgery, library, and cafe.
