The proposals for the site were initially met with opposition from other supermarkets including Asda and Morrisons.
They argued it was “illogical” to have an Aldi midway between the two towns, but the planning permission was granted in 2015.
Supermarket growth
The discount supermarket is in the process of large-scale growth in the UK, targeting 1,200 stores across the country by 2025.
