The application, for an Aldi store in Commercial Street, was unanimously approved by members of the Thirsk and Malton Area Committee last Thursday. The site for the proposed new discount food store is partially within Norton Town Centre and has lain dormant for several years. "Aldi is delighted that members of the Thirsk and Malton Area Committee voted unanimously to approve (subject to a Section 106 Agreement) Aldi’s application for a new food store on Commercial Street, Norton. "We are delighted to have received planning permission for our new store in Norton. Ever since our initial conversations with local residents and elected representatives, we have been encouraged by the high level of support for this proposal.
