A Sainsbury's planned for a housing estate could be open 24 hours a day under new proposals. 

The shop could occupy one of two retail units on the Lark Grange housing estate, on the edge of Moreton Hall, Bury St Edmunds. 

Plans for the Lady Miriam Way site, submitted to West Suffolk Council, include a single building to house both units, a servicing yard, 19 car parking spaces and landscaping.

In original proposals, both retail units were to open between 7am and 11pm seven days a week but, following the submission of a new licensing application, Sainsbury's could be granted permission to open 24 hours a day, Monday to Sunday. 

The new plans could also see alcohol sold at the shop between 7am and 11pm Monday to Sunday. 

Representations concerning the planned 24-hour opening and alcohol sales can be made in writing to West Suffolk Council, or by email to licensing@westsuffolk.gov.uk, by August 1. 

Bury St Edmunds currently has one Sainsbury's supermarket in Bedingfeld Way, Moreton Hall.
