It comes after Kimberley Developments last month told The
Silhillian it was experting to start “in the autumn” but did not give a month.
The firm won Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council
permission for the St John’s Close
store in November 2012.
A Knowle Society update said: “Project awaiting finalisation
of legal issues with Solihull Council. Bids are about to be sought from the
contractors and a September start of construction is very likely.”
The site has been cleared but work has not begun. In April
it said work would start in the summer for an opening late next year.
The firm will build a store with a 1,161sqm sales area.
Five bungalows nearest the store will be relocated to create
a car park that will remain the council’s control. The village’s Tesco has a
865sqm sales area.
