Supermarket now considering its options
An application by Tesco to build a new supermarket on
Fulham High Street scheme has been refused.
The retailer has been working with developers Barton Finch
on plans for a High Street store, close to Putney Bridge, for some time.
Its most recent scheme, designed by architects Collado Collins, aimed to provided a mix of retail space, around 60 flats, parking and a rooftop meadow in a run down site to
the north of to All Saints Church.
James Wiggam, Corporate Affairs Manager for Tesco, told West London property blog lookwest: " We are disappointed with the decision.
" We have spent over four years working alongside Barton Finch on the scheme and have made substantial changes to the plans in response to consultation feedback.
" The site on Fulham High Street is currently derelict and unattractive. The plans would have brought much-needed investment to this part of the street and generated around 200 new jobs. We will be reviewing the decision notice before considering our options. "
