Show your support for a new Aldi store at land off Formby Bypass

We are pleased to announce that Aldi has submitted its planning application to Sefton Council to provide a new food store on land off Formby Bypass.

The proposals will see the development of a spacious, modern retail environment, that makes use of a previously developed site that has been neglected for some time and fallen into disrepair. The site has an existing planning consent for housing and previously operated as a commercial plant nursery, which closed a number of years ago. At present the land has a consent and is used to store vehicles.

We have been delighted that an overwhelming 85% of respondents to our consultation expressed support for this new proposed store. Our plans will shortly be decided by Sefton Council and you can make a real difference by showing your support.

About the proposal:

• A brand-new Aldi food store with a net sales area of 1,315sqm.
• Around 40 new local full time equivalent jobs for the new Aldi store.
• Free customer parking for 121 cars, including eight accessible bays, nine parent-and-child spaces, eight covered cycle parking spaces.
• Four electric vehicle charging points will also be available at opening, with additional infrastructure will be installed so further charging spaces can be added in the future.
• 14 covered cycle parking spaces.
• A new store in a convenient and accessible location that reduces travel times for local residents.
• The redevelopment of a brownfield site that has become derelict
