A planning application from Tesco for a 107,630
sq 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been withdrawn.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.
