Lidl approved to build Thame supermarket, pending 2026 decision, amid traffic and habitat concerns.
Lidl is moving forward with plans for a new supermarket in Thame, Oxfordshire, after the South Oxfordshire District Council ruled the site on Aylesbury Road does not require an environmental impact assessment.
The 1.05-hectare development, replacing offices and a Travelodge, will undergo standard planning review.
Ecological surveys are needed due to potential bat, newt, and badger habitats, and a noise assessment may be required for construction.
Local officials acknowledge community support for more shopping options but remain concerned about traffic.
Lidl plans operating hours from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm Sunday.
A full planning application is expected soon, with a decision expected in 2026.
