00:00Plans for a new Tesco store in Headingley look set to go ahead after planning and licensing
00:05permissions were secured. The supermarket chain will install a new shop at a unit in Headingley
00:12Central on Otley Road. Leeds City Council gave consent for external alterations to the vacant
00:17site on the route of the famous Otley Run pub crawl. Tesco previously faced public opposition
00:24after applying for an alcohol license for the new store. More than 30 people objected raising
00:30concerns that more alcohol sales would add to unruly behavior on the pub crawl. The license
00:36was granted following a hearing in March after Tesco agreed to reduce the hours of alcohol sales
00:42to 7am to 11pm.
