It said: “Car parking in the
site will remain available for village use until the New Year.” The store is to
open by Christmas next year.
The scheme will flatten the
1960s shopping precinct for a store with a top level car park of 184 spaces and
refurbished and extended Dorridge Practice GP surgery.
It will also include a cade,
pharmacy and shop units.
The original 1,812sqm sales
area plan was approved in November 2011 but Sainsbury’s earlier this year said
it would not start work this year because of economic conditions.
It then won council
permission to increase the sales area to 2,276sqm, some 26 per cent larger. A
2,462sqm plan was rejected in 2010.
It said this will allow it to
sell non-food goods.
The supermarket said it wants
to hear from local sub-contractors via
info@sainsburys-consultation.co.uk.
Project manager Nick Alston
said: “We’re delighted to announce a contractor for the Dorridge development
and a date for starting enabling works at the site.
“All our efforts will now be
put into ensuring we deliver this scheme with the utmost consideration for our
neighbours and the wider community.
“We want Dorridge to be proud
of the way we deliver this project and of the new-look village centre ahead of
Christmas 2014.”
