A derelict paper bag factory could be turned into a supermarket, nursing home and housing according to provisional plans.
Budget supermarket chain Aldi has submitted a pre-application to Somerset Council regarding the former Welton Bibby & Baron site in Midsomer Norton, meaning a full planning application could follow.
The site was identified in the council’s Local Plan in 2023 as a possible location for a supermarket.
Councillor for Midsomer Norton North Shaun Hughes said the news was a “positive development” for the town as the site had been vacant for more than a decade. The factory was once a major employer in the town.
