00:04A new Aldie supermarket planned for a disused quarry on the outskirts of a Derbyshire town
00:09could create 50 jobs. Aldie has submitted plans for its new supermarket in the former
00:14Harveydale quarry in Dale Road at Matlock. The site is currently occupied by the former
00:19Derbyshire County Council officers in John Hadfield House, which it has vacated along
00:24with an MOT garage. These buildings would be demolished to make way for the new supermarket
00:29and its car park. If approved by Derbyshire Dales District Council, the new Aldie supermarket
00:35would cover a smaller footprint than that of the current buildings, providing 92 car
00:39parking spaces and 4 electric vehicle charging points. The application says that the scheme
00:44would also create 50 new jobs. A decision will be made by the District Council in the
00:49proposal over the next few months.
