TESCO AT PICARDY PLACE – DECISION LOOMS

Submitted by Editor on Sat, 20/02/2010 - 11:13

Councillors will decide on 24 February whether to grant planning permission for a 3-floor Tesco at 8 Picardy Place (Ref. 09/00385/FUL).

The Development Management Sub-committee – which includes local Ward 11 councillors Charles Dundas (Lib-Dem.) and Joanne Mowat (Scottish Con.) – will meet at 10am in City Chambers. Members of the public may attend.

To find out whether this application will be presented and discussed (rather than determined in accordance with officials' recommendation), phone 529 4091 on Tuesday 23 February.

News of Tesco's proposal first surfaced in March 2009. Concern about its potential effect on small, independent Broughton traders spread rapidly, and was initially reported in Issues 169-71.
