Following various breaches of planning conditions relating to the operation of the Aldi Store on London Road in Burpham, Guildford Borough Council served Stop notices on the Company. Aldi sought to take legal action against the Council over the matter, a claim that was not entertained by the High Court as Aldi’s case was not arguable. The case was not granted leave to proceed further and was consequently thrown out by the Judge. Guildford Borough Council was entitled to make a costs claim against Aldi.
A planning Hearing will take place in June 2016 to hear Aldi’s appeals relating to amendments to various planning conditions attached to their planning consent, including time and frequency of HGV deliveries, a matter of great concern to local residents.
