1 September 2005 - In March, the City Council Planning Committee unamimously rejected an application by Tesco to build a store on the corner of Unthank Road and Trinity Street. Tesco has now appealed against the decision.
The Planning Inspectorate will now hold a Public Inquiry into the application before making a final decision. The Inquiry is likely to take place for several months.
Councillor Chris Hull said: "The Green Party will continue to support the Residents Against Unthank Tesco group in preparing their case for the Inquiry. We are still concerned about the impact the store would have on pedestrian safety, noise and the independent businesses nearby."
