Aldi's plans to expand its supermarket in Liskeard have been given conditional approval by Cornwall Council.
The application, PA26/01374, was submitted by Aldi Stores Ltd and covers an extension to the existing store at 1 Charter Way, Liskeard, together with a new plant compound, additional car parking and an associated pedestrian crossing.
It also sought a variation to condition two of an earlier planning permission, PA24/09331, which was approved in November 2025. Cornwall Council formally granted conditional planning permission on Wednesday, August 12.
The decision means the development can proceed, subject to conditions covering construction, ecology, trees, drainage, highways, landscaping, security and the protection of neighbouring properties.
Work must begin before November 4, 2028, and the development must be carried out in accordance with the approved plans.
A Construction Environment Management Plan must be followed, along with approved tree protection measures and an arboricultural method statement. Conditions also cover the discovery of previously unidentified contamination during construction.
The additional car park must be completed and available for customers and visitors before the development is brought into use. Parking and turning areas must allow vehicles to enter and leave the site in forward gear.
Drainage works must follow the approved drainage strategy, with the aim of preventing increased flood risk and managing surface water.
Security measures are also required. A CCTV and vehicle barrier scheme must be approved before the new car park is first used.
A landscaping and lighting scheme must be agreed with Cornwall Council before the development is first occupied or used. It must include planting, protection of existing trees and hedgerows, and replacement of any plants that die or become seriously damaged within five years.
The development must follow the recommendations in the site's ecological assessment, as well as an approved Biodiversity Net Gain Plan and Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan.
Delivery hours are restricted by the planning conditions. Deliveries will not be permitted before 6am or after 10pm from Mondays to Saturdays, while Sunday and Bank Holiday deliveries will be restricted to between 7am and 5pm. The approved electric vehicle chargers will also be subject to operating hours of 6am to 10pm.
As part of the decision, Aldi will be liable to pay £67,994.65 in Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) to Cornwall Council. The CIL liability notice, dated August 13, states the charge will be payable when the development begins. The charge is levied under Cornwall Council's CIL Charging Schedule and Section 211 of the Planning Act 2008.
Louise Wood, Cornwall's Chief Planning Officer, issued the approval. It is the latest stage in the planned expansion and improvement of the Aldi site in Liskeard, with conditions intended to ensure the works are carried out with regard to highway safety, environmental protection and the amenities of nearby residents.
