In July 2012, ASDA in Biggleswade, applied to change the conditions of their existing Planning Permission. Basically they wanted to extend their opening hours to 7am and 11 pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 10pm Saturday and Sunday, as apposed to the approved hours of opening that are 7am - 10pm Monday to Sunday.
This application was refused by Central Bedfordshire Council in October 2012. They gave their reasons for refusal:
"It has not been satisfactorily demonstrated that living conditions at neighbouring properties would not be harmed through noise and disturbance or that the use of planning conditions could adequately mitigate any harm that would be caused.
ASDA appealed against the decision in October 2012.
The Planning Inspectors decision was issued on 20th February 2013 and the appeal was allowed with a number of conditions but basically ASDA will soon be able to stay open Monday to Friday 7.00am to 11.00pm and on Saturday and Sunday 7.00am to 10.00pm.
