A New Sainsbury’s for Newark

A New Sainsbury’s for Newark  

As you may be aware, Sainsbury’s are planning to open a new store on the site of Homebase Northgate Retail Park, Trent Lane, N Gate, Newark NG24 1HN. This is part of a wider regeneration of some former Homebase sites, transforming their future as sustainable retail stores and bringing new shopping options to local areas.

We’ve recently submitted a planning application to Newark and Sherwood District Council for a change of use from a non-food store to a supermarket (food and non-food retail store) (planning reference 24/01929/S73M).

We would now welcome your support as the application is considered by Newark and Sherwood District Council, to bring forward this store which will provide a number of benefits to the Council and local community.

If we get an approval on our proposals, we are committed to bringing forward our new Sainsbury's store within 12 months, which delivers a number of benefits for the Council and local community, including: 

  • £14 million gross investment into Newark-on-Trent: Securing the site's future and regenerating a currently vacant, brownfield site.

  • 100 new and full-time and part-time jobs

  • Significant other contributions to the wider community: Including business rate income to Newark and Sherwood District Council and support for local charity and community initiatives
    .
  • Making use of an existng vacant unit: Discouraging anti-social behaviour in the Northgate Retail Park. 

Let us know your views

1. Do you agree that people in Newark would benefit from an improved choice of local shops?
2. Do you support the principle of revitalising the current vacant homebase building into a new Sainsbury’s store?
