What planning permission does Tesco have?
Tesco have only the planning permission inherited from the previous owners of the site, Wilco. This is for what is called an ‘A1 premises’, i.e. general shop premises. Tesco failed in both of its attempts to extend this planning permission. This site also has a specific planning condition (i.e. a restriction) which specifically says that deliveries have to be made from the rear of the site. Tesco therefore cannot legally deliver from on Mill Road.
