Standish Foodstore Approved

MAZE Planning Solutions has secured Planning Permission and Conservation Area Consent for a foodstore development in central Standish.

Wigan Borough Council's approval enables the development of a 2,618 square metre (28,470 square feet) supermarket on the site fronting the A49 High Street, owned and occupied by Noel Chadwick Ltd.

The applications were submitted to the Council in July 2013, following public consultation in February and March of that year and pre-application discussions with Planning Officers which commenced in June 2011.

The site will be cleared to make way for a new, high quality, stone-faced building, served by a 150 space car park with direct access from High Street.
