Plans for a new Aldi store in a busy Tameside retail park have been recommended for refusal over concerns of congested roads and an ‘uninspiring design’ – but the company says it will appeal.
The discount supermarket chain had applied to the council to build its fifth foodstore in the borough at Snipe Retail Park in Ashton-under-Lyne.
This would have seen the existing Pizza Hut and former Carphone Warehouse stores demolished to make way for the supermarket, which would have covered nearly 2,000 sqm.
