The site, a former petrol station and other buildings, has lain derelict for many years. It is now being developed as an Aldi store. Given that there is a recently enlarged Lidl about 100 yards away, a Tesco Express about 250 yards away, a Morrisons about 400 yards away, and a Coop about 400 yards in the opposite direction, and given the desperate need for more housing, it is hard to see why planning permission was given.
