LDF to redefine Tesco site as residential.

The Local Development Framework(LDF) Working Party have agreed with objectors that the land currently occupied by the Fire Station, Community Centre and residential properties does NOT function as part of the Town Centre and is therefore difficult to justify being included in it. It is proposed to show the area as Residential.
Although the LDF will not come into force until 2008 it would make it easier for the council to object to any application in this area and would remove one of the key measures that Tesco have used to justify locating their store there.
