Aldi already has several sites across the Lancaster district, including in Lancaster city centre, Scale Hall, Morecambe Promenade and Carnforth.
Lancaster City Council has previously stated that any proposal "will need to demonstrate how it contributes to, and does not prejudice against, the delivery of a network of green corridors and walking and cycling routes across the South Lancaster area to the benefit of the local environment and residents, linking up existing, proposed and future development to create healthy and cohesive communities."
A virtual public consultation was held on-line via a consultation website in May 2021 with local residents and councillors invited to view and discuss the proposals.
The consultation resulted in 172 responses from residents, with a majority (65%) expressing a significant level of support for the proposals, according to planning documents.
