Tesco trying to stop Sainsbury's building in Dawlish

Sainsbury's was given planning permission to build a store in Dawlish. On the day that planning permission was granted to Sainsbury's Tesco put in a planning application which was later refused on the grounds that planning permission had already been given to Sainsbury's.

Tesco are not happy with this and are threatening legal action. See full story here. From what has been said, Tesco will be putting in their planning application in Seaton before Sainsbury's, so if they are successful, presumably Sainsbury's can use the arguments against Tesco in Seaton that Tesco are using in Dawlish! It's a strange world.

And yes, yes, yes - if you can find a similar story about Sainsbury's doing the same thing to Tesco we WILL publish it! ALL stories of supermarkets doing unusual things are published here if we get the information.
