Tesco Harrogate Approval
In September 2011, Tesco received Planning Committee approval from Harrogate Borough Council for a proposed new store in the town.
The store is to be developed on a challenging brownfield site which lies north of the town centre, beside a watercourse and existing gas storage facility. The site raised many technical challenges, which Smith Smalley worked hard to successfully resolve over recent years with the aim of delivering a design solution that would address all of the local issues.
Matt Magee from Tesco said, '' we're very pleased with the decision from the committee....we're providing a supermarket that will be very popular''.
Tesco plan to open the store by christmas 2013.
