Spokesperson Alice Rossi said today “I’ve had a chat with Peter Conboy who is the development director for Blueprint on this project, and he said that the contracts for the Co-Op land were signed before Christmas. This now triggers the requirement for Asda to apply for planning. Although I don’t have an exact date on this, I am advised that it will be happening quickly now.”
The Developer will also build a number of social houses on the site of the former Co-op store in Carlton Road in cooperation with ASRA – formerly Leicester Housing Association.
Assuming the planning application is successful, construction work is expected to begin in the autumn and the new ASDA store will be open for business in early 2015.
