Buckinghamshire Council have given official confirmation that an Aldi supermarket will be built in Amersham.

Following our recent story which revealed that permission had been approved back in June, council delegates have since authorized the proposal, with the plans being rubber-stamped on August 15.

The green light comes just over three years since their first initial proposal was put forward, on May 12, 2021.

The original request was met with mixed reviews, with a handful of objection letters being put forward.

However, following the news that the town will get another main supermarket, many residents took to social media to express their happiness and excitement.

The store will be built on 44 London Road West in the town, which is the site of the old Jaguar garage.

The supermarket will have warehouse space and staff accommodation on the first floor above a ground-level shop floor of 1195m2.

The car park will provide a total of 101 customer spaces, including five disabled bays and five for parents and children.

There will also be cycle parking, as well as four electric vehicles charging parking spaces, with infrastructure installed for the conversion of a further 19 such spaces in the future.

It will need to be built within the next three years.
