PLANS for a new retail development in the heart of Keighley have been approved - and a new Aldi at the heart of the development is due to open next year. This morning members of Bradford Council s Regulatory and Appeals approved the discount retailer s plans to transform the long empty Alexandra Works site, off East Parade. The development will include a new Aldi store, another large retail store, a drive thru coffee shop and three smaller shops. The plans first went before the Committee in November, but members deferred their decision, and asked Aldi to go back to the drawing board after raising concerns about the scheme s design and layout.
