The store will feature a sales area, an in-store bakery, customer toilets and parking for cars and bicycles.

Lidl has also confirmed that construction of another new supermarket on Fir Covert Road, in Taverham, has begun following permission being granted by planning officers at Taverham Parish Council.

To deliver the new store in Taverham, Lidl is working with construction firm Adston to build the store, which is planned to open early next year.
