A new supermarket is set for a four acre commercial development site in Dalgety Bay, Fife after Fife council gave Scarborough Muir Group Limited (SMG), a joint venture between Scarborough Group International and Muir Group, outline planning consent.

In addition to the 16,850 sq ft Aldi foodstore, a family pub restaurant, a drive-thru coffee restaurant and a 10,000 sq ft commercial unit, suitable for a light industrial or office occupier will also be developed on the site.

William McAlister, Director of Scarborough Muir Group said: "We are delighted to have received support from Fife Council for our scheme that will make a significant contribution to Fife, providing much needed facilities and bringing local jobs to the area. Aldi's decision to open a foodstore on the site is testament to the prominent location of the scheme and we are confident that we will secure other high-quality occupiers for the drive-thru coffee restaurant and commercial unit."

Following receipt of outline planning consent SMG and Aldi now intend to submit detailed Planning Applications to Fife Council for the Aldi foodstore and the family pub restaurant.

Construction is expected to commence before the summer of 2016 and completion is due before Christmas trading 2016.
