A Morrisons forecourt store in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, has been caught breaking planning law by selling
non-food items without permission.
Under the terms of its planning permission – granted in 1993 when it was a Safeway store – the shop in Ashchurch Road can only sell food and petrol from the forecourt.
Morrisons has now lodged an application for a “variation of a condition following grant of planning permission”. The superstore chain said the current status prevents “the sale of non food convenience goods and comparison goods of a type now normally sold by modern supermarkets and superstores and resulted in a poorer quality of shopping service”.
