I have been reliably informed that Sainsbury have withdrawn their planning application to build a new Hypermarket on the Homebase Site.
I have not been given the reasons for the withdraw however I hope it is to reflect on the comments that have been made by various different parties on the planning application that we believe was not correct for this area.
I am sure that Sainsbury's will submit another application that I hope is more suitable.
I will post details on this blog as they become available.
