Full Text of Petition

To:

The government's Planning White Paper is expected to be published on Tuesday 15th or Wednesday 16th May. It is expected that the government will scrap their 'supermarket needs test' and stop local authorities considering whether a new supermarket is needed when deciding on planning applications.

"If local councils cannot say 'No' to supermarkets when they are not needed, how will they ever be able to stop them undermining our high streets.
