Despite the objections there was also around 22 letters in support of the application.

When the plans were submitted in August it sparked a residential campaign and was led by Councillor Jackie D’Arcy and Labour party activists Curtis Oliver-Smith and John Sullivan.

The campaign saw 1,000 leaflets posted to the surrounding streets around Tesco. The main issues the residents raised were: litter, traffic, noise and air pollution, increased vermin and the promotion of an unhealthy lifestyle.
