    Fingal CoCo have requested further information on a number of things;

    1) Bulky design of the building, I think they want something similar to the Castleknock branch of Lidl.

    2) A revised and updated traffic/transport plan.

    3) More planting things, less hard landscaping.

    That's it really, the managers orders are 24 pages long in total to say that.

    FW19A/0009 is the application number if you're looking for it.

    It looks like work is under way on the Lidl. Does anybody have any idea on the project timescale?

    Not sure but they have a tendency to fly up fairly quickly. As it's a greenfield site, it may take longer but I wouldn't be surprised if it was open before the end of the year. I'd say it will have less logistical constraints than the one recently built in Castleknock so should be a quicker build.

    3 month build for a greenfield site. They are basically like IKEA. Flat packed and ready to go

    Agreed, surprised how close it is to the Clonsilla Road also given it's a decent sized site. The brick work on the first floor facing the main road is dog rough, are they going to re-point that? What's the finished surface supposed to be for the block work on the ground floor or any artist impressions of the finished view submitting with the planning?

    Not the case in Lidl Castleknock, where Lo-Cal are in situ.

    I'll be honest, Pat. My only experience of Lo-cal was in the one when at Phoenix Paul race course and it wasn't a good one. I should probably give them a second chance at some point.

    I’m not rating Lo-Cal one way or the other.
    Just making the point that it might not be the usual generic, hum drum, chain store coffee shop.

    Not many car spaces for a supermarket.

    I believe the car park extends under the shop on the ground floor. The shop is then located above it on the first floor, the same as Castleknock.

    113 spaces I think I read a while ago. Wonder if there's anywhere to lock bikes etc?

    That seems more than sufficient car parking spaces. I don't think Aldi or Lidl generally command the same volumes of shoppers at any one time compared to the average Dunnes or Tesco nor are they designed to. Often they only have one or two staff at checkouts such is their streamlined efficiency!

    The original planning application mentioned 36 bicycle spaces but that might have been for the apartments.

    One of the recent documents shows 6 bicycle racks outside the shop.

    It's an improvement on the two in Blakestown and zero at West End Retail Park. I lock my bike to the end of the trolley racks.

    The new Aldi in Blanch SC has a decent amount of bike racks thankfully. Probably about 30? And all sheltered too.

    There are covered bike racks opposite Lidl in West End, just around the corner from ATM at Argos.

    I definitely read December being listed as the opening target when they advertised for staff online so I'd say they'll want to open then to capture the Christmas business.

    Are the apartments part of a later phase as apart from the small retail units also being built, I don't see anything that looks like residential units being constructed?

    I know them.
    I hate that style of bike rack as it's hard to lock both wheels to them. If you put a wheel in the slot it could get bent. And they are too close together so your bike can get scratched (imagine car park spaces being so close that the body work gets scratched!!).

    Businesses install them because they are cheap (and tick a box).

    Agreed, there are already 4 Insomnia Coffee shops in D15 AFAIK and IMO the coffee is awful, a bit of variety would be great. Coffee Works in Blanch village is the only local place with decent coffee.

    Got some €10 of €50 spend vouchers in the door along with some other advertising for new store. First voucher not valid until 11-Jan but good to have all the same, didn't think Lidl did vouchers.

    Still think the store is too close to both the Clonsilla Road and Link Road, site is plenty big enough so that planners stipulated it was pushed at least 5 meters further back

    I live in the immediate area and didn’t get a voucher. :(
