Tesco buy out more planning clauses.

Further to the news that Tesco wish to buyout their requirement to replace the homes lost if they were to build a store in Sheringham it appears this is a normal way for Tesco to behave as they have also tried to use their huge profits to renege on a planning obligation in Yorkshire.
Supermarket giant Tesco has applied to buy its way out of an agreement to provide a riverside footpath and cycleway alongside its Abbeydale store in a move approved by council planning officers. The company agreed to install a footpath alongside the River Sheaf when it was given planning permission for the development, but has now applied to the council to pay it £274,000 instead of going ahead with the work.
