New Sainsburys in Bradway?

[Gone4good 10]

At yesterday's Planning Committee meeting Sainsbury's application was declined. Not on traffic grounds, the biggest grouse of local residents, but to retain a building of character.

 

I have to say I am relieved. I understand what you are saying in that The Bradway has no potential as a pub in today's market, but it's also a real shame to see mediocre utility buildings with heavy corporate branding spreading everywhere.

 

I grew up in Bradway very close to that pub and the shops at the top of Twentywell. I've known those shops since I was 7 years old, which is 50 years now. I have no doubt they are going one day soon, but I applaud the owners of those shops for hanging in and bringing a level of service that is diminishing quickly in modern Britain.

 

I just want to enjoy the vestiges of old Bradway a little longer before its demise into a characterless franchise wasteland. Once it is gone it is gone, so please let's not hurry it along any faster than we have to.

And as the planning officer's report recommended approval it's no surprise that Sainsbury's are indeed appealing. Apparently in supporting their application at the planning committee meeting they produced in their defence examples of pubs they'd integrated into other Sainsbury's Local stores. They could do the same in Bradway but it would cost too much to resettle Coral's and incorporate their site. It might even be a better shop, but why spend more than they have to? Their appeal implicitly threatens the council with costs. Councillors have delayed them a few months. Bully boy tactics, but they'll probably get what they're asking for.

They are demolishing the pub and replacing it with a Sainsburys Local.

Demolition will commence as soon as the building has been stripped of all internal fittings of any value, probably next week - if not sooner! Their public position is that the store will be open by Autumn 2014, although their contractors might be able to have it ready a little earlier?

 

Sainsbury's withdrew their appeal against the original refusal of planning permission after a revised application was successful. The new plan is outwardly of a little more character, but is the same size and position as the original application. Less bland, would sum up the changes.

This morning the pub was no longer boarded up but a lot of bit strewn all over!

Be a shame to see it go, but it'll be nice to have a Sainsbury's there to be fair.
