The proposed humungous Tesco at Yorkhill

The proposed humungous Tesco at Yorkhill, which involves,among other things, demolition of the Partick Central station ticket office (more recently the HQ of A1 cabs) on the bridge from Partick Cross to the hospitals. I took a note of the details in case anyone wants to file a separate
objection, see:
http://www.tescopoly.org/index.
NB deadline for objections is tomorrow!!

Here's how you file an objection (the info is also on the tescopoly site):
http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/

In particular, these are the ONLY grounds on which you can file an objection:
- Contrary to the Development Plan
- Appearance (design, materials, scale, massing, etc)
- Traffic, parking and access problems
- Residential amenity (noise, overshadowing, overlooking, developing
too much garden space) Effect on Listed Buildings and Conservation
Areas

...(NB Jim, 'blocking my view' isn't on the and list, they are allowed
to ignore letters which use that objection!). There's a sample
objection letter on the tescopoly website.
