The Yaiza City Council approved this Thursday the detailed study for the unification of two plots located in the urban area of Costa Papagayo, proposed by Aldi Canarias, in order to implement a supermarket in Playa Blanca.
In the words of the mayor, Óscar Noda, "it is good news for consumers, because there will be greater price competition in the food sector and other essential products, and because, in addition, the construction project of the store, in front of the Marcastell urbanization, will regenerate a large area that is now in disuse."
Aldi Canarias promotes the grouping of two plots that total 23,000 square meters, with a buildable area of 2,000 square meters. The City Council views this business initiative favorably in accordance with the urban planning of the Yaiza General Plan.
The initial approval of the detailed study will now be submitted to the mandatory public information procedure for one month, will return to the Plenary for final approval and the promoter may process the project license.
In this sense, the mayor emphasizes that "the unification of two plots into one does not imply the modification of the classification or the urban destination of the land, nor the increase in buildability, and it also does not reduce or negatively affect the functionality of public facilities."
This Aldi store project, on Avenida Salida a Femés, is in addition to the Lidl supermarket project, which is currently being developed in the industrial area of Playa Blanca.
