Noting the number of Home Bargains already trading in and around Preston, Cllr Ben Ward said: “I’m slightly concerned we’re becoming a single shop destination.” Currently – under permission granted when the two neighbouring units were first given the green light back in 2005 – some “ancillary” food sales are allowed, but they cannot take up more than five percent of the internal space. Home Bargains wanted clearance to use up to 30 percent of its new floorspace to sell food and drink.
In its application to town hall planners, Homes Bargains requested – and received – permission for the sale of “health and beauty products; electrical goods and accessories; DIY and garden products and accessories; camping products and related items; medicines; baby products; household products; toys and games; pets, pet foods and other pet supplies; home furnishings and ornaments; seasonal products; food and drink products…and other items ancillary to these products”.
