Tesco has resubmitted plans for an Express convenience store in Mill End


Supermarket giant Tesco has resubmitted controversial plans for an Express convenience store in Mill End – seven months after it abandoned similar plans in the face of strong public opposition.

The company has already had two applications rejected for the store and residential development, which it wants to build on the site of the former Happy Man pub, in Berry Lane.

Revised plans, revealed today by Three Rivers District Council suggest a scaled down development, comprising four flats instead of eight.

Tesco lodged an appeal with the Planning Inspectorate in July last year after the second application was deemed too large for the site, but withdrew before a decision could be made.

More to follow.

I am fed up with the attitude of the Mill End residents near to this site. I went past there last week and was met with the hideous carbuncle of the wreck of The Happy Man, talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! It makes the Mill End estate look like down town Baghdad!!!! Nice, not..... What exactly do you want there?????

Quite right Catbird, given the rate that other pubs are closing down here as in far too many places. Enough of supermarket monopoly power pushing out independent shops.
