Sainsbury's scraps petrol station plan

The site could be used for retail, leisure, storage or a drive-through

A supermarket is selling a derelict pub adjacent to its store in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

Sainsbury’s had previously submitted plans to build a new petrol station on the site of the former Tudor Tavern on St Nicholas Road.

However, the building has now been put up for sale with 28 parking spaces included in the plot.

The approximately 23,043 sq ft (0.529 acres) site was advertised with a long lease.

No guide price has been set for the site

The real estate services company Avison Young said that subject to planning permission, the area could be redeveloped for retail, leisure or storage.

It also could be used as a drive-through.

No guide price was given in the advert,as agents were inviting “unconditional offers”.
