We have recently received several emails from non-members, and are aware of various Facebook posts, regarding our letter of objection to the planning application for a proposed Aldi store in London Road. The letter is a public document and can be seen on the Buckinghamshire Council website. It would seem, however, that most of the people making the recent comments had not, in fact, read our letter. For the avoidance of doubt, we would like to confirm that we do not object to the proposal in principle. We have some concerns about traffic, but our main concern is the very unattractive design, which takes no account of the sensitive setting. We are aware that many members and other local residents welcome the Aldi proposal but that does not mean that it should be accepted without any effort being made to improve the plans. Amersham deserves better than the design as submitted.
