The supermarket giant said it was 'disappointed' by the decision and reviewing its options
Aldi has been left "disappointed" after Perth and Kinross Council refused planning permission for the supermarket chain to build a £5.3 million store in Milnathort.
On Thursday, April 18 the planning authority decided - under delegated powers - to refuse the plans because the area has been set aside for employment use and because it is an "out of centre" retail development. The decision notice - published on April 18 - said the site was allocated for employment use in the local development plan. While Aldi would have potentially provided jobs for 35 people, PKC's decision notice said its local development plan "specifically states that proposals for retail uses in employment areas will not be acceptable unless they are ancillary to an acceptable use on the site".
"The proposed development represented a £5.3 million investment in the area, and the potential for 35 new jobs for local people within the store.
