Moseley Tesco application is 'deferred minded to refuse'

The planning application for the creation of a food retail store and doctors surgery on the former Meteor Ford site on the corner of Oxford Road and St Marys Row, Moseley, was heard this morning at Planning Committee.

The planning officers recommended approval in their report. However, the Planning Committee did not agree with the report and voted (I am informed 6 votes to 5 votes) to ‘defer the decision minded to refuse’. Many of the Committee concerns revolved around traffic congestion and parking issues

What this means is that the planning officers will now be tasked with writing a report that gives legal reasons for refusing the application. It will then go back to Committee at a later date for refusal.
