Aldi set to open seventh store in borough

The attempt is being made to change a condition which was imposed when plans for a retail unit were approved in 2024

Supermarket Aldi is set to open its seventh store in Telford and Wrekin, according to a planning application lodged with the borough council.

They are seeking an agreement to change one of the conditions that were imposed when plans for a retail unit were approved in July 2024.

The site in Ketley was home to the Shropshire Star's offices and printworks until 2022.

The Ketley store is set to be the seventh outlet of Britain's fourth-largest supermarket operator in the borough.

The condition states that there shall be "no subdivision of any part of the units nor shall any additional floorspace be created in addition".

Planning officials at Telford & Wrekin Council set the condition to "ensure that the units trade in the manner assessed in the submitted planning application".

Ketley Point, as the site is now called, is being developed by Morris and Company.

Aldi has been approached for more information.
