In addition to the store, Sainsbury’s and Morston Assets have planned a new Link road between Scania Way and Queen Elizabeth Way. This will help improve access to this part of King’s Lynn, facilitating the expansion of the Hardwick Industrial Estate and helping attract new businesses and jobs. The development will also provide funds for neighbouring employer, Pinguin Foods, to invest in its adjacent site.

In summary, the proposals will provide:

• A new Sainsbury’s superstore of approximately 70,000 sq ft sales area, offering a wider range of products and services for our customers in King’s Lynn
• Sainsbury’s To You online delivery service
• A new petrol station
• A new link road to improve access to the area and facilitate the expansion of the Hardwick Industrial Estate
• Over 300 new jobs created at the Sainsbury’s store
• Funding to enable Pinguin Foods to invest in new buildings and facilities, ensuring the firm’s long-term future in King’s Lynn
