The proposals, which aim to create hundreds of jobs, include improvements to the transport network and landscaping to avoid impact on local properties.
Rod Hogarth, Kirkland Developments’ managing director, said: “I am grateful to everyone who has contributed to the design of our proposals and really pleased to have now lodged our planning application with Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council.
“Our plans will increase footfall in Marple town centre, providing a boost to local businesses and creating a vibrant location for shoppers.
“We made several changes to the plans to reflect what residents had told us, particularly by improving the local road network and enhancing landscaping around the site to lessen any impacts on the immediately adjacent properties.
“It is now up to councillors to determine whether they believe our proposals or Asda’s plans at Hibbert Lane are the most suitable for Marple. I hope that members will look favourably on the town centre store and the public backing that it has received.”
The application is currently at the stage for public consultation.
