New Morrisons store planned for vet surgery site in Fulwood

The potential site of the new Morrisons store in Fulwood

A new mini supermarket is set to open in Fulwood if plans are approved.

Morrisons has applied for planning permission to change the use of a premises on Conway Drive to one of their ‘Daily’ stores.

The unit, at 93-97 on the road, has previously been operated as Oakhill Veterinary Centre until 2023 when the premises closed to facilitate a move to Lytham Road where the business continues to trade, as well as Abbey Veterinary Centre.

The application is not seeking external alterations to the building. The site is within a parade of shops that includes a hairdresser and barber, an off-licence and a scuba dive store.

Preston City Council’s senior environmental health officer has declared that their department has no issues with the application.

The application states the new store will create new jobs locally and open from 6am-11pm each day.

The plans were submitted to Preston City Council on 22 August and a decision will be made by Preston City Council in the near future.

Those who wish to comment on the plans can email devcon@preston.gov.uk quoting log reference: 06/2024/0857.
