Aldi would be “detrimental to the community” according to Winchester City Councillor after a fifth appeal for planning permission in Weeke began yesterday.
Richard Worrall, Conservative councillor for Weeke, said: “I think it is the fifth time that they have appealed so it is a well worn path.”
“It has been going on for two or three years now. I spoke against the appeal yesterday; I hope that they do not get the permission.”
Last month Aldi withdrew an application it had put forward for the site in Burnett Close, Weeke in order to push forward the latest appeal.
Recently, the council granted planning permission to Waitrose for a site next to Aldi’s suggested location. Councillor Worrall said: “It is determined on merit and the site proposed for Waitrose was a former retail site whereas the other was not.”
