New Kia showroom proposed for Wyberton Quadrant development

A new car showroom could form the latest part of the expansion of a major development.

WCO Properties Ltd is seeking approval for a new 1,101m2 unit, which would be occupied by manufacturer Kia, in Wyberton.

The site would also include associated parking, servicing areas and landscaping, according to plans submitted to Boston Borough Council.

Over the last few years, a number of housing and leisure businesses have been established in the area, including a Starbucks drive-thru and a 56-room Travelodge hotel along with a new Boston United Stadium as part of The Quadrant development.

Permission has also recently been granted for a petrol filling station and kiosk to the east of the application site.

The application states: “The unit would be occupied by Kia and would represent an important part of their portfolio and continue their growth and investment in Lincolnshire.”

Initial blueprints for the unit feature a total of 32 car showroom spaces to the north and east of the unit.

To the rear, an external valet bay and 19 additional service spaces will also be provided adjacent to the entrance of the workshop.

A further 158 spaces will also be situated to the south of the structure, with 36 spaces allocated within a compound area at the southern end of the site for customer parking.
