Brief
Supermarket giant Tesco planned to demolish one of its stores in Lincoln to pave the way for a multi-million pound replacement. Tesco won planning permission for its scheme for its new Wragby Road premises in April, 2009, and the plan includes building a bigger store and moving the petrol station to a new location on the site. The company must show that fumes released by the filling station meet strict environmental targets, and that the building and landscaping demands are sustainable.
