Sainsbury's Ledbury application turned down by Herefordshire Council
12:19pm Wednesday 22nd February 2012
CONTROVERSIAL plans for a new Sainsbury's superstore in Ledbury have been defeated.
Councillors voted 12 to six against the proposal, which would have seen the construction of a 30,000 sq ft superstore and petrol station off Leadon Way, at Herefordshire Council's planning meeting this morning.
Officers had recommended the plan for refusal, citing a loss of employment land and the impact on Ledbury's high street trade as reasons, among others.
