Prescot will be getting a major new Aldi after plans were approved.
The proposals, for a new Aldi store at the 3.8-hectare former BICC site on Cables Way in Prescot, were objected to by rival supermarket giants Tesco and Asda.
Tesco, in particular, submitted numerous objections, including last minute representations, to dispute whether Aldi had followed the correct planning policies when considering alternative sites and the impact of the store on other shops.
