Dear Sirs,

Planning Application: No 12/0112M

I wish to register my objection to this scheme.

Tesco already take a huge amount of business out of the local economy. I believe the increase in sales they are seeking has been vastly understated and the impact on local retailers would be significantly more than they claim.

In their Submission document their claim on loss of business (diversion) they fail to address the knock-on effect for local businesses. All of these businesses employ other local businesses: printers, plumbers, builders, electricians, photographers, accountants, etc. Any impact felt by the retailer would also affect the many other local businesses who supply them
