Councillors have delayed a decision on controversial plans for a new Aldi paving the way for it to be approved against the advice of planning officers who wanted to refuse it.
The discount supermarket chain had applied to Tameside 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.
