We haven’t updated the blog for a while since it’s been the summer holidays. But we have still been checking the weekly Planning lists for any applications that might quietly slip through the system when we are all busy during the summer break. Nothing so far. One of our committee members earlier this month had a visit to Morrisons supermarket in Johnstone, which according to Smith Design Associates is 78,000 sq. feet with 490 car park spaces (with link to another council owned car park), a petrol station and car wash.
Although it was a visit to the car park only, the overall impression was that the shop had just “landed” on the site and it appeared to just be a massive car park with a supermarket at the end of it. It did have in it’s favour that it was positioned adjacent to a very busy dual carriageway and was bounded by a river on the other side. It certainly didn’t appear to have residential housing bordered on it’s site.
