Tesco's 24 hour delivery plans

 
02/07/2024 @ 03:03

Deliveries to Newtown's Tesco supermarket could soon be in the middle of the night.

The food giant wants to be able to receive stock deliveries at any time during a 24 hour period It's lorries can currently only deliver between 5am and 11am, an extension to its original planning permission between 7am and 11pm.

Last night's Newtown Town Council Economy and Environment Committee supported a change to its planning application.

Cllr Tracy Owen, who considered the application on behalf of the committee, said a full noise study had been undertaken by the company. She said there were few residential properties near to it.

"So far they have not had any complaints," she said referring to a consultation on the proposals.

Cllr Owen added that there would be many noise regulations they'd have to adhere to if the plans were approved.

The committee supported the application which will now be considered by Powys County Council planners later this month.
