Background
As you may know a public enquiry upheld TraffordCouncil's decision to refuse plans for a 90,000 sq foot store on this site in2006, yet the company are using the partnership with LCCC and Trafford Councilto try to push through a store that is 50% larger than the store that wasrefused in 2006. The site is about a mile from Stretford Mall and 1.6 milesfrom Chorlton.
