Tesco refusals around the UK – campaigning works!
By way of demonstration that campaigning can work – as if our own two wins against Tesco aren’t enough – we highlight other cases from around the UK where Tesco have failed to receive Planning Consent. Not however that our campaign concerned with Tesco on Mill Road, rather than Tesco as a company per se.
- St Albans – We Won! 10 Reasons Why The Council Said No! (30th June 2008)
- Worcester – Thumbs down for Tesco plans (27th June 2008)
- Sunninghill – Tesco plans rejected / Tesco plan thrown out after 600 objections (12th June 2008)
- Poynton, Macclesfield – Tesco is no match for people power (5th March 2008) – only a few days after our own success!
In the Sunninghill case, the grounds for refusal appear to be very similar to our case in Cambridge, and the refusal withstood an Appeal
