What's going on ?

At the General Meeting of the Development Trust last week someone asked me what was happening about Tesco, as they had not heard anything for ages.  I had to say that, aside from on-site soil sampling, I had heard of nothing.

Since then, I have heard a rumour that Tesco's next planning application was submitted to East Devon District Council last Thursday  . . . by co-incidence, the very day of the Trust General Meeting.
