    Sid - the Morrisons development is on land zoned for shopping and there would be no legal planning grounds for refusal. DDC, if they tried to refuse would have lost on appeal and would have had a great deal of criticism for doing so. No win situation for them.

    You might also consider the principal of 'a bird in the hand' - imagine if by some fluke the Council were able to prevent Morrison's to protect the Asda development (ignoring potential scandal) and then Asda still decided not to go ahead....

    The Chamber of Commerce (not Trade in Dover) generally support business development in the District, as we should, along with the jobs they deliver. Commercial considerations for investors are a matter for them and not for us and certainly not the Council to second guess.
