The supermarket giant unveiled its plans to turn a pub on the sandy peninsula in Poole Harbour, Dorset, into a store last year - which sparked uproar from horrified locals.

That planners see this sort of Tesco takeover as a kind of conservation is extraordinary. A trip to #specsavers?

Last thing Brixton needs is another Tesco Metro. Seems council officers were v keen on proposals. Typically dull management @SaveGeorgeIV

@andrewjchild @SaveGeorgeIV @lambeth_council This is not sustainable and nor is it desirable - we need planners thinking long term and local

@andrewjchild @SaveGeorgeIV It's shocking. What are the planners doing? How will this benefit the local area? Very disappointing.
