The new store and link road can help facilitate improved bus services to both the store and the Hardwick Industrial Estate. We are also looking at ways to create improved cycle and pedestrian access to the site and the surrounding area.
A key element of Sainsbury’s proposals is to help facilitate the provision of a new link road to connect Scania Way with Queen Elizabeth Way. Sainsbury’s will apply for planning permission for the £multi-million new road in partnership with Morston Assets, owners of the Pinguin Foods and Hardwick Industrial Estate sites.
This is a major piece of infrastructure which is crucial in facilitating the future expansion of the Hardwick Industrial Estate.
The new link road will bring a number of important benefits to King’s Lynn:
Sainsbury’s will provide about 600 car parking spaces at the store, including specific parent and child, and disabled spaces. Customer access to the new store will be via a new roundabout on Scania Way.
