Polegate is set to get a new Aldi supermarket and care home

A hybrid planning application for a new Aldi store and care home in Polegate has been validated by Wealden District Council (WDC).

Aldi Stores Ltd applied for full permission to build a food store with associated access roads, parking, a servicing area and landscaping on land off of Eastbourne Road.

The company also submitted an outline application for the erection of a care home with associated access roads, parking, a servicing area and landscaping.

The application has been validated by planning officers at Wealden District Council. 

It's said that the new store would create local employment opportunities, supporting around 40 jobs while offering ‘flexible employment opportunities within entry-level positions’. It said: “The jobs will be suitable for elderly and part-time workers.”
