SUPERMARKET giants Aldi want to alter their planning application for a new store in Leyland.
The German chain were given permission to build a 1,201sq metre store at the junction of Towngate and Westgate in May this year.
This week councillors on South Ribble Council's planning committee will have before them a new application to expand the plans.
Bosses at the company want to increase the size of the store by 126sq metres to accommodate machinery and add to the store floorspace.
The siting of the store would be identical to the original application, but would be extended on the western side of the building.
As part of the original application Aldi agreed to fund a bus stop with new real time information signs and traffic calming measures on Westgate following calls from local residents.

What impressed me about this article was the bus stop

I've never seen a bus stop that incorporates traffic calming measures
