Klondyke Strikes Garden Centres, the owner of Weaver Vale Garden Centre, is seeking permission from Cheshire West and Chester Council to raze the 51,400 sq ft existing store and build a larger 107,300 sq ft replacement.
Cheshire West and Chester Council has been minded to approve Weaver Vale’s application for the garden centre reset at next Tuesday’s planning committee.
If permission is given, the shop floor would rise from 22,000 sq ft to 48,900 sq ft. The covered outdoor area and further outdoor sales space would amount to 53,400 sq ft.
The on-site café is also set for a mini expansion, more than doubling in size to a 5,000 sq ft spot, likely to become a restaurant.
Finally, proposals show a new 7,300 sq ft warehouse building would be erected to help with storage and product management.
It is expected that the work will both improve aesthetics and the site’s functionality. A larger enclosed shop floor area will provide greater accessibility and allow the garden centre to display a wider range of products.
