Lidl recently confirmed it has begun work for the future development of a plot of land in Bicton Heath to the west of Shrewsbury.
The land, next to the Co-op store on Welshpool Road, was purchased by the supermarket giant on January 24 this year.
In the weeks since the site was acquired by the supermarket giant, some of the hedgerows around the site have been removed - seemingly without permission.
