The proposed site is on Belwell Lane, Mere Green and contains the former Waitrose store.
Aldi’s proposal for Mere Green represents:
- £5m+ investment into the local economy
- Regeneration of a brownfield site
- A brand-new Aldi food store with a net sales area of 1,315sq m
- 98 car parking spaces at the store including six accessible, six parent & child and four electric vehicle charging bays
- Free car parking at the Aldi store for up to 90 minutes
- Creation of 30-50 new jobs and additional employment opportunities throughout construction of the store and through the supply chain
- Attractive landscaping incorporated around the site to enhance its appearance, with trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order being retained
