A planning application from Tesco for a 107,630 s
q ft store at the former gas works site off Ripon Road and Skipton Road in Harrogate has today (14 November 2007) been withdrawn.
Harrogate's planners had set aside 27 November for determination of this planning application.
Reasons for the withdrawal of the planning application have not been given at this time.
Planning Officers have been in discussions with Tesco about the details of the planning application and it is understood that the company has taken on board some of their concerns regarding the current proposals.
The council fully expects Tesco to re-submit a planning application for this site.
The Planning Committee scheduled for 27 November will still go ahead as there are two other items of business the Lidl application at Knaresborough and an application for a discount retail store at Oakbeck Park, Harrogate.
