Aldi has dusted down its plans for an RDC in Cardiff for the third time in a decade.

The budget supermarket has submitted new plans to Cardiff Council for a 497,497 sq ft regional distribution centre on its 28 acre site at Capital Business Park in Wentloog.

The company has previously submitted plans in 2005 and 2009 but had not implemented them. It was thought that the company would sell the site being surplus to requirements 18 months ago.

The new proposals are looking at a larger development than previously indicated. The warehouse will total 454,724 sq ft while two storey offices will total 39,012 sq ft. The warehouse will have 17.4m eaves as well as 70 dock and level access doors. It will serve up to 110 – 130 stores in the region.

Aldi has ambitious growth plans in the UK and publishes a list of the locations where it is looking for store sites. The current list includes:
