Tesco blocks Lidl plan to rebuild store in Limerick

An Bord Pleanála overturned a decision of Limerick City and County Council to grant planning permission to Lidl for an expanded supermarket at the location of its existing store, at Punches Cross.
Lidl has sought permission to demolish its outlet, at the junction of Childers Road and Rosbrien Road, in the south of the city, and an adjacent building, to replace them with a new store, with a floor area of 1,690m².
