Sarah Longden, Environmental Health Officer at the council, said: “Environmental Health have no received any noise complaints regarding noise from the Aldi store.

“Aldi implement delivery practices which minimise noise through the use of a roll-on, roll-off palette system. This system should be maintained to reduce the likelihood of noise disturbance to local residents.”

Ms Longden added: “It is not predicted that the proposed application will cause a statutory noise nuisance, therefore I have no objection to Aldi’s hours for delivery and servicing to be.

“In the event of noise complaints regarding deliveries to the Aldi store being received by Environmental Health, a noise investigation in accordance with the Council’s Noise Nuisance procedure will be carried out.”

Opening hours will remain from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 9am to 6pm on Sundays.

Aldi forms part of a communty centre and smaller units occupied by Costa Coffee and Domino’s Pizza.

These units’ delivery hours will remain the same are “they are nearer to the residential properties”, the council notes.
