PLANS for a new Tesco store in Bourne End look set to be rejected due to the affect it will have on other traders.
The supermarket want to build an Express store and four flats in The Parade, Bourne End.
But officers at Wycombe District Council have recommended the plans be rejected at next Wednesday's development control committee.
Although the final decision will be made by councillors.
Officers said there is no need for the Tesco store and that other shops in the area may have to close if permission was granted.
A new small Sainsbury's store has also already been given the go-ahead in Parade Court, Bourne End.
The report to the committee said: "The cumulative impact of the proposed development along with the permitted retail development could result in the closure of existing stores in the District Centre which is likely to have an adverse impact on the vitality and viability of the Bourne End Local District Centre."
