MORE than 130 jobs could be created after controversial plans to open a supermarket store in Dunstable Road were approved.
Luton Borough Council’s decision to refuse permission for a foodstore at Madford Retail Park has been overturned on appeal, paving the way for an unknown retail giant to move in.
Cadbury Pension Trust, representing the national retailer, had applied to vary a stipulation which only permitted the sale of computer and office goods on the site.
The proposal had been rejected by the council last April citing claims that a supermarket would have a negative effect on local residents, traffic congestion and harm the vitality of nearby retail parks.
