Discount grocery giant Lidl is set to launch a public consultation process for a new Lisburn store.
The move by the German company comes after a pre-application notice passed through Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council’s (LCCC) planning committee this week.
The Sprucefield Retail Park location being considered had previously been at the centre of a long running application by homeware chain John Lewis. However it was withdrawn due to concerns over out of town shopping and its affect on town centre businesses.
