I just checked the Sainsbury planning applications: as they say "for the avoidance of doubt" no permission required to change from a pub to a shop. Their applications for signage, new entrance door, ramp etc which they submitted in October were approved. There was also an application (12/04271/FUL) for air conditioning units which was submitted in November and is still pending decision. NB: the only neighbour comment listed on the planning website states that it is not an objection, but does ask for a specific noise level for the equipment to be specified (should not exceed a level of 5dB(A) above the existing background level or 10dB(A) below if there is a particular tonal quality). Maybe that's the hold-up.
I suspect it will go through and Tescos (& the local shops) will have competition in due course.
I know supermarket chains are hardly inspiring, but surely these developments are better than 5 or 10 years more looking at semi-derelict buildings?

If the local grocery market is static or shrinking, then obviously you are right.
If on the other hand these new outlets largely attract customers who normally shop at the existing branded main stores - the overcrowded Acre Lane Tescos or the Dog Kennel Hill Sainsburys - then the net effect could be beneficial for Loughborough Junction and local shoppers.

Which charity I wonder?
Perhaps it was a charity helping local people - maybe people who have been made homeless after losing their jobs in local shops that have closed down...

Which local shops in LJ have closed down due to Tescos arriving?
Monkeygrinder's Organ

The Supersave / Costcutter did close for a month or so before coming back shiny & new & better laid out.
I really hope that is what's happening with the Sunstar, and it does come back in April.
I like that shop.

If you saw that today then I'm guessing that the windows may have been smashed several times by now.Just saw that several of the Loughborough Junction Tesco's windows have been smashed.

They'd just buy in an adjacent police station under the name of 'community investment' if things got too hairy.
