Bosses at supermarket giant Sainsbury's say they are "extremely disappointed" that their plans for a new store in a Nottinghamshire town have been recommended for refusal. The company wants to build a Sainsbury's shop off Nottingham Road, Southwell.
But Newark and Sherwood District Council has recommended that the retailer's planning application be refused when it is considered at a meeting on March 16. Sainsbury's said 40 new jobs would be created by the multi-million pound development.
However, the district council said the location of the proposed store was "not environmentally appropriate". Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury's property and procurement director, said: "We are extremely disappointed with this recommendation and we disagree with the reasons listed.
