New Aldi Planning in Dunshaughlin

I was under the impression that the land to be used by Lidl has already been zoned from the previous application that was to be a Tesco express

There was planning permission for a Tesco Express there in 2011. here's the Link Paul Healy (SuperValu) was a submitter twice on that application, I'm guessing it wasn't a submission of support!!!:rolleyes:

The planning was granted with "conditional" changes to that application. Not too sure what these were, but with the recession, nothing happened and the application expired. My understanding of an expired planning application is that it means nothing to the next application on that same land.

I thought the wall running from Gogans to Utopia was to be preserved under the Tesco planning but now its to be removed for more retail units?

The residents in Greenane are putting in objections to the pedestrian exit over their side

Thanks Borderfox for your comment, there is a tread for the Lidl application too :cool:

<HERE>

Reading the description and not having any scanned files , it sounds like a similar application to the previous one, the Madden's application (linked above) is really to accommodate pedestrian access to the Aldi store from the main street through Madden's existing car-park next to the Bank of Ireland branch, this was also part of the original application. The new application is a little different, they are looking at a bigger store on a bigger site, so maybe the boundary fence of Madden's car-park and more of Madden's backyard is now incorporated into Aldi application or maybe the an area at the back of Hanson Wood is incorporated. Without the scanned files we are only guessing at this stage.

New planning application details ref: RA180255

Proposed development will consist of the demolition of the existing building on site and the construction of a single storey discount foodstore (to include off licence use) with a gross floor area of 1,638 sq.m. (net retail area 1,152 sq. m.). The development includes the erection of 2 no. free standing double sided internally illuminated signs, 1 no. internally illuminated gable sign, 1 no. poster sign and entrance glass signage. The proposed development will be served by 90 no. car parking spaces. The proposed development includes vehicular access from Lagore Road and pedestrian access from Main Street. The proposed development includes all engineering works, landscaping works, boundary treatments and site development works on the 0.66 hectare site

Significant further information/revised plans submitted on this application.

Please Note: the original application was revised. Some of the changes were to the car-park layout (from 83 spaces to 94 spaces) and access to the Lagore Road was also revised.

We already have a few objections to the development, so colour me cynical but I'm not holding out much hope.

I guess the only avenue we might have is if the council feel that the huge of amount of houses being built NEED lots of supermarket options.

I'm very hopeful that Aldi do get full planning permission this time around, because they did get planning permission "with Conditions" the last time.

It's an interesting planning application this time thou, with Madden's Car park as part of the deal. I am not sure how it would work out, if Aldi got full planning permission and Madden's application was refused.

Some ground works have now begun at aldi site/behind bank of ireland.
Perhaps it's a good sign of things to come? :P

Meath County Council requested further information from Aldi Ireland on 09th May 2018, 12 items in total (If I get a chance to post the full 12 I will, but I'm not sure if anyone would be interested, I don't think a link to the document will work).

I could be wrong but I think this ground work is probably to do with an archaeological assessment.

Was speaking with someone who'd be fairly well informed re the issue and apparently there's far less local support for Aldi compared to Lidl application. It was the local support that really drove Lidl over the line apparently. The trees in the site are a major issue as well. Aldi want rid of them and that's a no go from the planners.

I think people are generally happy with one new large supermarket in the town.

Any update on Aldi permission?

Has anyone on here seen any work (surveys etc) going on in that site?

As part of the request for further information on the planning application back in May 2018, they need to do a number of items (12 in total), for instance they need to do a bat survey and Meath County Council suggest it should be done between May and September. So if Aldi are serious about this application they need to have done some work on the site over the last few months. I hope I'm wrong, but I fear this application is dead in the water.

It would be great if Aldi got permission to build there store in the village, as I much rather Aldi over Lidl.

Maddens have also resurrected their application too.

It's "Judgement Day" today for this application, hope it's the right one.

If the construction of this Aldi Store is at the same pace as the Lidl store on the otherside of the road, we could be looking at store opening at early December 2019.

To be honest, I don't think it's a great decision.

Traffic already is becoming extremely busy in the 'village'. This is going to only increase it. Also, are those trees going to be cut down? They're one of the nicer parts of the village centre and it's a pity to see them removed for a supermarket.

I'm happy to see Aldi come to Dunshaughlin, but would have preferred if it was on the outskirts of the village.

Ah ok,I just looked at link and it said conditional presumed it was something small anyway

When I checked this morning at 9am, there was no information populated within some of the fields on the MCC website, I have rechecked the site now and they have since populated some more information there, so you are quiet right there is conditions on Aldi application too, however there's no related documents posted on the "View Scanned File" section yet. Hopefully the "conditions" aren't too restrictive.
