Submitted by Stephen Harrison – Deadline to sign up by: 12 September 2008 – Signatures: 2,294
Whereas the above planning application by Tesco Stores Ltd to redevelop Kirkby is in contravention of the Knowsley Borough Unitary Development Plan; and whereas the proposal also extensively breaches the boundaries of the current Town Centre Action Area; and whereas further unaddressed issues of scale, transport and public disorder are present; and whereas the development conflicts with national planning policy on important matters; and whereas the development will have wide effects beyond its immediate locality; and whereas the development raises significant architectural and urban design issues; and whereas the development has evoked significant regional controversy; we, the undersigned, hereby petition the Prime Minister and his Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Mrs Blears) to exercise their powers under s.77 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to examine the said proposal by way of a full public inquiry.
