Aldi have submitted a new planning application, 2025/1182, for the old Guy Salmon site on Portsmouth Road  

Aldi's new planning application is for a single-level store - as shown in their public consultation documents last year (see computer-generated street scene opposite). 

Their earlier application for a two-storey structure was turned down on appeal, mainly due to the adverse affect it would have on the character of the area, and the overbearing impact of houses in Westville Road (see our earlier article).

Public comments on this latest application are invited by 5 September 2025, although any submissions a little after this are also likely to be considered.  The TD & WG Residents' Association will be submitting its comments in due course.
