Oakham Town Council approve Tesco car park to be built on top of house

Oakham Town Council approve Tesco car park to be built on top of house.
Some time ago Oakham Town Council considered a application from
Tesco. The Town Council recommended refusal. The council also agreed
against  the demolition of the dwelling. in Penn Street.
So it was strange last week the council agreed to new revised plans
these Tesco want to implement after the demolition of the
dwelling.
At this weeks meeting the council will decide to revoke a standing
order so they can reconsider the original plan. After the conflict was pointed
out by Rutland County Planning.
I am wonder why they are also not going to revisit last weeks
application on the same evening?
Is the Town Council going to now support the Tesco application and
the revised plan?
Or  will Tesco be as confused as me?One interesting voter to watch will be Cllr Joyce Lucas , I am told
she blows in the wind and this is evident when it comes to
Tesco.
When she chaired the first meeting she took the casting vote
against Tesco, possible because of the large public presence and last week
behind almost closed doors she voted for Tesco. Pity the other member of the
public did not stay to see the result.
If you wish to attend your Town Council meeting  it is held at Victoria Hall, 7.00pm this Wednesday 22nd September
