What happened with Tesco’s first planning application, to create an extension at the back of the building?
It was refused by a government inspector. Tesco put in a Planning Application in September 2007 to build an extension at the back of the premises. This was refused by Councillors in March 2008, and went to Appeal. A government inspector examined the evidence and agreed with the Council’s decision, throwing out the application for an extension in November 2008. He stated “I find that both of the realistically available servicing options would pose unacceptable risks to highway safety, which would not be outweighed by benefits or the fallback position. I therefore conclude that both appeals should be dismissed.” Tesco are therefore legally not permitted to build an extension.
