Truth is out - planners said no to Tesco at Ashton Gate

Winter is generally a time for hibernation, but anti-Tesco campaign BERATE has risen from its slumber to report on the detailed planning report on the now scrapped proposal to build a Tesco at Ashton Gate. The report would have gone to the Council's planning development committee on 5 November and the planners had said ‘no’.

You can read a summary of the findings on the BERATE website and find a link to the full report. So what does this mean for Sainsbury’s when they put forward their proposal next spring to build a giant store at Ashton Gate? One thing is for sure, it is far, far from being a ‘done deal’.

  1. Both the 'Tesco' application and the 'Sainsburys' proposal were/will be made not by the respective supermarkets but by stadium owners BCFC. The supermarket name associated with it is not all that significant. Planning permission, if granted, will be for a supermarket of a specific size and will not be tied to any particular name.

  2. So, is it true that BEP's Mike Ford is in fact UWE Business Enterprise graduate and ex UWE Hub FM worker Rob Green? The 21 year old boy from Bracknell who has so much to say about Bristol, just because he now lives in Bedminster? I hear he makes his living pulling pints in a Bristol pub when not writing rubbish for the BEP
