More remedial work on drains is needed before a supermarket giant can begin building a controversial new store, a council has decided.
Tesco has received approval from Bradford Council to discharge the latest in a raft of conditions given with planning permission to demolish the old Spooner factory in Mayfield Road, Ilkley , and build a new store, to replace its current premises in Springs Lane.
The latest condition concerned drainage at the site and despite concerns raised by the council’s own expert it has been discharged.
But the work is still subject to several caveats before it can begin at the site.
In a letter to Richard Schmidt of Tesco, the Council said it was satisfied with plans, drawings and documents submitted by the company, but some watercourse work, including a CCTV survey, needs to be done.
