What we provided

Stakeholder Engagement Support

Cavendish supported Aldi through an extensive consultation period, following a submitted planning application in March 2021.

We think
around corners.

Strategy

Cavendish played a pivotal role in supporting the wider project team, engaging with key stakeholders and mobilising support from both politicians and members of the public. Despite facing resistance from local dissenters, proactive measures were taken to address the concerns through early and strategic engagements.

Meetings with various stakeholders, including community groups, were tailored to foster open dialogue regarding the proposed plans and to comprehensively address any concerns raised.

Outcome

In February 2023, Councillors supported plans and the proposals were consented by the Planning and Placemaking Committee. The store is set to open in late 2024.
