Aldi & Costa scheme moving forward
T
he project to build a new mixed-use development comprising of an Aldi supermarket, a Costa drivethrough and a Premier Inn hotel on land at Fox Den Road, Stoke Gifford has taken some small steps forward over the summer. Planning permission was granted in April 2021, when applicant Baylis Estates Ltd said it expected to complete the project in “early 2023”. One of the scheme’s tenants, Costa Coffee, has now submitted a subsidiary planning application for advertising signage, including typical building-mounted signage, digital menu boards and a 10m-high illuminated totem sign.
On the ground, some initial clearance of the vacant site, which is situated to the rear of Sainsbury’s, appears to have been carried out in recent months. County Court documents posted on the entrance gate suggest that the owners were forced to take legal action in August to evict “persons unknown” and a caravan. The entrance to the site has since been further secured with an additional metal barrier and large rocks. The Journal understands that the project team is currently finalising its programme and contractor selection. A further update will be provided once these have been finalised.
