ALDI Store Planned for Hazlehead, Countesswells Road 

Aldi Stores Ltd are bringing forward a planning application to develop a new discount foodstore at Hazlehead, Countesswells Road, adjacent to the new Dandara housing development. Full details of the scheme can be viewed online at (click on link) www.aldiconsultation.co.uk/hazlehead

Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions Aldi are holding an online question and answer session with the development team on: Friday 29th May between 4pm and 7pm. To attend the event or to find out more about the proposals visit the website www.aldiconsultation.co.uk/hazlehead which contains consultation boards with additional information about the development plans and associated timescales.

Aldi are preparing a planning application which will be submitted to Aberdeen City Council

Note that the Aldi private consultation is totally separate from the official Council consultation which will be arranged once the planning application is eventually lodged. It will be important to send comments, objections to the official process and not just Aldi's initial private consultation.
