ASDA Hyson Green Expansion

Asda in Hyson Green have put in a planning application to expand the shop building into their car park off Noel St. We think this greedy company has done enough harm to the area as it is.
Proposed expansion - impression (of something hideous)
See the plans at

The application is number 07/00949/PFUL3
This development will mean something bad for all of us.
Even more noise, traffic, delivery lorries, carbon-emissions and other pollution (including bright 24-hour security lights).
Threat to our culture and community and to local shops - we don’t want to be a clone town!
More profit for US company Walmart, who own Asda, and who are notorious for how badly they treat employees.
More low-quality cheap food and over-priced organic food stupidly imported from miles away. What about space to grow our own?
Even more CCTV cameras watching everything we do.
The pretence of job creation, which really means low pay and long, boring hours when everybody should be able to do something more interesting.
An eyesore!
What can we do?
The first this is to register objections on the address above (see the link "Comment on Application" at the bottom of the application page). The council will stop receiving comments on 20th June so do this soon!
But really we need a community campaign if we are to stop them. Are you interested? Add your comments.
