The proposed site is located at the junction of Necessity Brae and Low Road, close to Glasgow Road.

Aldi’s proposal for Necessity Brae includes:

  • A new, modestly sized food store with a new sales area of 1315m2
  • Parking spaces for 100 cars, including 6 accessible bays, 10 parent-and-child spaces and 2 electric vehicle charging points
  • Free customer car parking together with bicycle parking
  • Retaining the existing jobs form the Glasgow Road store and the opportunity for more permanent local jobs
  • Additional employment opportunities during the construction period and via the supply chain
  • Attractive landscaping throughout the site to enhance its appearance
  • A high-quality design which offers a contemporary shopping experience
  • A multi-million-pound investment of approximately £3.72m into the local area
  • Increased business rates and other revenues for the local council
