SAINSBURY'S PLANNING APPLICATION OAKHAM TOWN COUNCIL

SAINSBURY'S

PLANNING APPLICATION

Oakham Town Council will be considering the
Planning Application by
Sainsbury's Supermarkets Limited
to build a new store off of Lands End Way
tonight August 4th 2010.
The meeting will start at 7.00pm and is open to the public.
Prior to the meeting, the plans are available for inspection
in the Town Council offices.


Members of the public are asked to note that the plans can be viewed from 10am - 1pm up until August 4th.

Comments slips will be provided and any comments will be forwarded to Rutland County Council along with any observations or recommendations from the Town Council.

One matter missing from the Council web site is: the public can come along and speak at the meeting.

'The final decision on whether planning permission will be granted will be made by Rutland County Council'
(so what is the point?)
 
No negative campaign carried out by the Town Council this time, it is is interesting to see the different way this application from Sainsbury has been handled, compared with the
Tesco application.
 
No public surgery.
 

I am rather pleased this did not happen, I don't think it was wise of Cllrs such as Dewis and Lucas to call it a consultation when they only pointed out their personal objections regarding Tescos proposal, to the steady flow of public who visited.
