Hello & Welcome

Purpose of Consultation and Next Steps The purpose of this consultation is to share our indicative proposals with the community and other interested parties, prior to the submission of a Full Planning Application to Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council for an exciting new Lidl store in Dromore. We are committed to engaging with members of the wider community and are now undertaking a period of pre-application community consultation (PACC) on our proposals. The feedback received will be shared with the design team and will help to shape our proposals prior to the submission of a planning application. We will prepare a Pre-Application Community Consultation Report which will provide a summary of all feedback, our response and how we have incorporated any appropriate feedback into the final proposals for the scheme. This report will be submitted as part of the Full Planning Application to Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council.
