Copy of my recent letter to the people who have wrote to me about this and my original email of objection.  This is good news and hopefully an outbreak of common sense by ASDA.

Re: Planning application 337933 to allow 24/7 deliveries at ASDA, Shaw

Further to my recent letter of 13 April regarding the planning application to allow 24/7 deliveries as ASDA in Shaw, this is just a quick note to update you on progress.

I have now received confirmation that ASDA have withdrawn their application for 24/7 deliveries in Shaw.

This is fantastic news and I am more than happy with the outcome as I hope you are too.

If I can be of any assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Best wishes – Howard Sykes

Subject: Planning application 337933 ASDA in Shaw ref 2973

Dear Mr Leigh,

I formally wish the above application to be considered by the Planning Committee (upped) due to the fundamental nature of this most recent application and how it seeks to change the whole basis of how the store works and how it impacts upon its immediate neighbours (my constituents).

It seeks to allow deliveries via the front/customer entrance between the hours of 10pm and 6am i.e. through the night.

I have not objected to previous applications, all of which have relaxed the original conditions imposed on this development, in terms of delivery times and opening hours.

I now also formally object to what they propose now.

Since the development was conceived there has always been an entrance for the public/customer and a delivery entrance/yard.

Despite what local councillors wanted at the time the customer entrance was located on Greenfield Lane (a late change in the original application process).

The application this time means the customer entrance off Greenfield Lane actually gets used for commercial deliveries 24 hours a day, seven days a week including Bank Holidays.

The impact this will have on local residents will be massive – it terms of traffic, noise, light pollution and must be resisted.

I would be grateful if you would acknowledge receipt of this email.

Yours sincerely.

Councillor Howard Sykes MBE
