PROPOSALS
Landscaping and Boundary Treatments
A planting strategy has been prepared by FPCR to
support the detailed planning application for the
proposed foodstore (see Figure 7).
• Low level shrub planting is proposed around the
entrance to the new Lidl store.
• Tree planting is proposed along the western
edge of the site underplanted with shrubs
to form a soft edge to the scheme and filter
views towards the Lidl store from the A338 and Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ Example of retaining slope planting
properties off the A338 and Wolage Drive
• Low maintenance shrub planting throughout
the scheme
• Retaining slopes to incorporate a metal mesh
and to be hydroseeded with flowering grass
mix. Slopes to be kept as long grass and flowers
and maintained once or twice per year
• Planting along the east and south of the site to
soften the development edge

DESIGN & ACCESS STATEMENT
Materials
The materials applied to the building are low
maintenance and in the case of the aluminium
composite panelling minimal upkeep is required.
The guttering and downpipes are a natural zinc
finish and therefore do not require repainting or
maintenance. LIDL use materials that are highly
rated within the Green Guide for specification in the
construction of new stores.
Energy efficiency is a long term life-cycle issue, which
should not only be addressed in the short term
build, such as through materials, but also in the
long term through the operations and maintenance
costs. The windows have an Aluminium frame which
can be recycled at the end of its operational life. This
material is also durable, having some of the longest
replacement intervals according to the Green Guide.
