Isle of Man-based Derwent Holdings will appeal against what it calls Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council's “inappropriate” decision to allow a 155,000 sq ft Tesco to be built next to the Old Trafford cricket stadium. Gerard Carney, a spokesman for Derwent Holdings, which is owned ...by veteran entrepreneur Albert Gubay, said: “We will lodge an appeal shortly. I am concerned that the cricket club redevelopment may get bogged down due to the crossfire between Derwent and Tesco over the coming months. This is avoidable if common sense prevails. It is unfortunate the matter will have to be referred to the Secretary of State to rectify an inappropriate decision, which has been reached for political, rather than planning, reasons.”

Parents and concerned residents are marching on Thursday March 18th from Losctock College to Trafford Town Hall to protest the closure of Lostock College to create an academy.
The plans are closely linked to the Mega Tesco - the land being sold to Tesco to build the Mega Store can only be sold if Lostock College and Stretford High School are closed and the Trafford College backed Academy goes ahead.
The march will begin at 15.45 at the clinic on Barton Road - come along and protest against the closure of Lostock College, merging of Lostock and Streford High and the opening of a Mega Tesco right next to the proposed academy site

Because you wait for ages and then two come along at once.
As if a Mega Tesco weren't enough, now Sainsbury's are getting in on the act in North Trafford. They have applied for planning permission for a store of approx 97,262 sq ft* on the site of the old Homebase at White City. This is only half a mile away from the proposed Tesco site. We are opposed to this store for many of the same reasons as the Tesco, but unfortunately, as there is no 'change of use' for the site (from one retail use to another), we don't feel we have as good a chance of stopping it. We will continue to focus our energy on fighting the Tesco application, but we do encourage you to write to Trafford planning department and object to the Sainsburys as well, which could have an equal impact on shops in surrounding areas.
- do write and object as soon as possible using Planning application number 74483/FULL/2009
* Previous figure of 122,000 used in this piece corrected on 13/01/10

We think the planning application should be called in by the Secretary of State, and to make this happen we need to write to the Planning Director at the North West Government Office and also our local MP’s to ask them to get it called-in. The below explains the criteria for ‘Calling-In’ an application, and why we feel this application meets these criteria. Download the sample letter here - Sample Call in Letter
