Aldi has had a store plan rejected after a three year long planning appeal saga with Welsh Government. The German discounter said it is "bitterly disappointed" after losing out in its bid to develop a new store in Aberystwyth.
The supermarket giant first secured planning for a store and a hotel on the former Kwik Save site back in 2011. But another adapted plan - minus the hotel - was later submitted and approved by Ceredigion County Council in June 2019.
However it was called in by Welsh planning inspectors over flooding fears. It has since taken nearly three years for a decision. This was partly due to the pandemic hitting a planned public inquiry in March 2020.
