Penryn and Falmouth could soon see its first discount food outlet after plans were approved to build a Lidl on land at Ponsharden.
The application by Lidl UK to convert two buildings at Ponsharden - most recently leased to wood supplier Woodstock and mobility scooter company Horizon - into a 1,070 square metre supermarket and three industrial workshops was given conditional approval last night.
Members of Carrick council's planning department met to discuss the plans, which also include 80 car parking spaces.
Lidl has 5,500 supermarkets across Europe and in November 1994 started trading in the UK, where it now operates 400 stores.
The idea of building a retail outlet on the site was first mooted over 18 months ago.
