Plans to build a Sainsbury's in Auchterarder have been recommended for refusal by Perth and Kinross Council's planning team.

- KATHRYN ANDERSON

Councillors on the Planning and Placemaking Committee will meet to consider the application on Wednesday, July 9.

The supermarket submitted plans to Perth and Kinross Council to erect a convenience store on the eastern edge of the Perthshire town, with a car park, which would create up to 20 full-time and part-time jobs.

Officers have recommended councillors refuse the application on the grounds it is “an out-of-centre location” which is “not allocated for new retail development”. They have also deemed it as not being a small scale neighbourhood retail development and believe the store would have a “detrimental” impact on the town centre.
