The proposals include a 4,300sq ft convenience store alongside five smaller units.

Chris: God knows there’s plenty to have ago at LDC about, I’m not sure what you expect them to do to decide which businesses decide to open in a privately-owned development on privately-owned land?

People don’t bother with local independent shops any more, the only likely contender will be yet another Tesco/Co-op/Londis variant.

The comments from grown adults hilarious. 🤦‍♂️ Read the planning applications,before making idiotic comments. 👍😂 So what if it’s a Tesco’s or Co-Op it’s a 700 plus housing estate it needs it.

This is just a short walk from Trent Valley station. I can see the 48 car parking spaces rapidly filling up from 6am during the working week. There will need to be some parking restrictions put in place.
