What's going on ?

At the General Meeting of the Development Trust last week someone asked me what was happening about Tesco, as they had not heard anything for ages.  I had to say that, aside from on-site soil sampling, I had heard of nothing.

Since then, I have heard a rumour that Tesco's next planning application was submitted to East Devon District Council last Thursday  . . . by co-incidence, the very day of the Trust General Meeting. 

Any application would  need to be validated before appearing on the EDDC website, so we would need to wait some days at least before any hard information is available.

For those non-Guardian readers, the article can be seen here
