Plans for new Aldi supermarket proposed on land at Keydell Nurseries in Horndean set to be discussed
Plans to build a new Aldi supermarket in Horndean are set to be discussed this evening - with residents invited to find out more
The food retailed is proposing to build a new £7million food store on land next to Keydell Nurseries which it says will create up to 40 new, full-time equivalent jobs.
The store will have a sales area of 1,154 sqm, its own access road off Havant Road and have 100 car parking spaces - including six accessible spaces and ten parent and child spaces. On top of this it will also have four electric vehicle charging points with additional infrastructure installed, so further points can be added in the future
The site on Havant Road, which will also be landscaped, is on land owned by Keydell and which is now surplus to its requirements. The garden centre itself will not change as part of Aldi’s plans and will remain open to customers throughout.
The supermarket intends to submit a planning application to East Hampshire District Council but is holding a pre-application consultation with residents to give them the change to find out more.
Representatives of the scheme will be attending a meeting of Horndean Parish Council this evening (December 9) and residents have been invited to come along if they want to lean more about the plans.
A virtual exhibition can also be viewed at aldiconsultation.co.uk/horndean where feedback can also be given, and it has also held events were residents could find out more.
