It is being widely reported that the new Sainsbury's planning application is being opposed by environmental groups and other large businesses as well as residents groups.
We have concerns that the proposed new store is two large for the area and will have detrimental affects on the local area.
The plans seem to be a magnet for cars and will cause further traffic congestion and have drastic affects on nearby residential accommodation.
Sarah Moore has already made objections along with many other residents and I will be making representations to the planning committee when it determines this application in October this year.
Although this application is not in the Westmoreland Ward we are making comments due to affects on Westmorelamd residents.
We will post more information as it becomes available.
