Thankyou to Daniel for these pictures of the new Fairacres Phase 2 and Lidl store as viewed from the air.
When the construction of Fairacres Phase 2 began I was considering visiting the revamped Hilton Garden Inn (on the left) to get some pictures from the top floor. I gave up on that idea because of the pandemic. However Daniel’s view is even better with his drone.
This views shows Fairacres in the centre, and Miele to its left, with the 50 acres of Abingdon Business Park behind, and behind that the houses of north Abingdon.
So how much of this new building is to be occupied by Lidl? The signage on each end suggests that all will be Lidl.
Guess that each occupier of the block will get a sign on the prominent end of the block
It looks to have a similar floor area to Tesco. These drone pictures really help to see how the town is developing and how it grew in the past. Thanks!
Lidl is at the far end, then there’s a Costa and a gym, then Homebase nearest to the main road. Homebase is the biggest unit – about half of the total, with Lidl having 2/3 of the rest. The Planning Application ref is P20/V2808/RM on the VWHDC website.
Thanks, Hester. Ohhh….another Costa! Deep joy! What will that be, three in the town?
4 if you include the one in the BP garage.
Seeing the small Costa machines in a few more shops and premises now.
