Tesco - Planning Meeting

6.9.10

News in brief: further to the item below, the Parish Council's Planning committee met this evening to formally consider the plans for a Tesco store on Selby Lane. After due discussion, it was unanimously agreed that the committee should object to the plans, and the Borough Council will be advised accordingly. The minutes of the meeting will appear on this website in due course. Please watch this space for news of further developments.

Tesco - Public Meeting

The public meeting held at the Village Hall on 2nd September was attended by 250/300 people. All but a small minority of those present were against the proposals for a Tesco store.

The Parish Council chairman, Tony Grice, stressed that, in addition to any other letters written or petitions signed, anyone with strong views for or against the proposals should, if they have not already done so, write [quoting application number 10/01333/OUT] to:

Development Control Manager, Rushcliffe Borough Council, Civic Centre, Pavilion Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 5FE.

Email: developmentcontrol@rushcliffe.gov.uk

He added that lots of individual letters would carry much more weight than, for example, a petition with lots of signatures.

Linda Abbey, chairman of the Parish Council's Planning committee, pointed out that letters or emails to the Borough Council should focus on planning criteria. For for further guidance, click on the following link:

The next step, from the Parish Council's point of view, is for the Planning committee to formally consider the plans at its meeting on Monday, 6th September [7.30pm in the Centenary Lounge] and to submit its observations to the Borough Council.

The Parish Council is also monitoring the response to the survey which it set in motion by sending out forms with the September edition of the Keyworth News. If you have not already done so, please complete your form and return it to the Parish Council office by 15th September at the latest.
