Don't know when the outcome of the Tesco Appeal will be known but do know that the Appeal Hearing is scheduled to start on Tuesday 17th May. Due to run over three days I believe.

Yes, you are correct about some Lib Dems (2? 3?) on TDC either voting against or abstaining on the vote re whether or not Sainsbury's should build at Shutterton Bridge. Believe they may have done the same re the Tesco application to build at Lady's Mile as well.
