Aldi wants to build a store on Knights Hill beside the Big Yellow Box Storage Company. They have organised two consulation events at the Baptist Church on Thornlaw road – Thursday 21/7 4pm to 7pm and Saturday 23/7 10.30am to 1.30pm.
The next stage will be a formal planning application and another chance to have a say.
The site is in West Norwood’s KIBA (Key Industrial Business Area). It is the council’s policy to concentrate retail businesses in the Norwood Road shopping street.
See previous post 26/3/17
43 parking spaces!?
For a shop that is meant to be “not a one-stop shop. Its smaller stores focus on packaged and convenience goods, complementing rather than competing with existing local shops and services.” !?
That speaks for itself.
By the way: At a time where everyone talks about climate change and the move towards green transport, how dare they think about building a huge car park?
