The Aldi company's promised consultation with Dedworth residents over plans for the Windsor Garden Centre site is to go ahead  - despite the lockdown.

It will be held next Tuesday, April 14 - but instead of being in person it will be conducted using Zoom on social media.

Aldi is in the process of preparing its planning application for a new discount foodstore at the site of the Windsor Garden Centre, Dedworth Road,

The supermarket chain brought the brownfield site with the garden centre on it from development company Wates in December.

Aldi’s proposals include a new ‘value for money’ food store with free customer car parking and landscaping. 
The consultation is expected to get a mixed response from residents, many of whom had hoped that the garden centre would be allowed to remain.

But the plan for a discount supermarket seems likely to be less controversial than plans to build houses on the old Squires Garden Centre site nearby were.

The Squires site was subject to a planning application for 37 houses which was turned down by councillors in December.

Aldi needs to know how many people will attend the 'meeting'.

Please RSVP to sarah@planningpotential.co.uk to be sent a link to access the meeting and if required, instructions on how to use Zoom.

Any questions about the proposals ahead of the meeting should be submitted before the meeting.
