NEARLY 11 months after submitting an application for planning permission at Shannon, Aldi has provided a response to a further information request from Clare County Council.
Despite Clare County Council denying planning permission to Aldi in 2017, (a decision which Aldi unsuccessfully appealed to An Bord Pleanála) the company is bullish about its prospects of getting approval now and a decision is due by May 10.
The proposed development would be across the road from the existing town centre, on the northern side of the R471 (Airport Road).
In the further information submission, it is claimed that Aldi looked at opening in the existing town centre, but that was not a runner.
