Aldi have been asked to reduce the height of proposed pole signs outside their new store off Brook Way.

Planning documents submitted to South Gloucestershire Council show the firm were told the signs we too high.

Senior planning office Mrs V Butt told Aldi she wanted the signs reduced to no higher than the ridge of the current building.

“I have now had an opportunity to visit the site and am concerned at the overall height of the proposed pole signs,” Mrs Butt said in a letter.

“I would prefer to see the pole signs to the front and north of the site reduced in height so that they are no higher than the ridge height of the existing store.

“The pole sign to the junction of Brook Way and Bradley Stoke Way is also considered to be too large in its overall scale and height. Its impact will be lessened if the overall height is reduced to 5m.”

Aldi was asked to respond to the request, made at the start of the month, within 14 days.
