Aldi's applies to upgrade the refrigeration plant at Cleveleys store on Crescent West
Proposals for a new mechanical plant within the existing plant roof compound of Cleveleys’ Aldi store have been lodged with Wyre planners.
The development at the Crescent West site is being proposed as part of a wider upgrade of the refrigeration plant for Aldi Stores.
An application for the plans was lodged with the council on January 5.
A planning statement by real estate advisor Avison Young, on behalf of the store chain, said: “The proposals are modest in nature.
“They simply comprise of replacing the existing mechanical plant with new plant in the existing plant compound on the roof of the foodstore, along with the installation of three condensers on a new concrete base of only 7.1sqm adjacent to the southwestern elevation of the unit.
“As the proposed replacement plant is located within the existing plant compound on the roof of the foodstore, there are no proposed visual impacts associated with this aspect of the proposal.”
It adds: “No fencing is required around the new condensing units as they are located within a secure area accessible only through a locked external gate.“
