ASDA are aiming to improve the offering to online customers with a new home shopping facility in the car park of their Halbeath store.

They've submitted a planning application to build a bigger storage pod, demolish the existing freezer and extend the canopy at the east of the supermarket.

The number of parking spaces would reduce by eight to 568.

A statement explained: "The home shopping storage pod is used as a storage area where groceries, which have been picked from the retail shop floor, are collected and stored ready for dispatch.

"The goods will then be loaded onto small delivery vehicles, which will be parked under a canopy and delivered to customers within the local area during specific time slots throughout the day.

"The proposed works provide additional home shopping capacity through increased storage space with a new building.

"The canopy is to be reconfigured to connect the existing van canopy to the new freezer and storage space.

"This is designed to provide weather protection to the Asda colleagues and the home shopping totes while the vehicles are being loaded.

"The existing cleaning room is to be replaced."
