Hundreds of businesses in Hull have signed a petition opposing a major new retail development on the edge of the city.
The Kier Group has made a multi-million pound proposal to expand the Kingswood retail park, but shopping centres and traders fear it will undermine the regenerated city centre.
The developer says it's a major investment which would provide many jobs for the city.
Councillors will make a final decision at a planning meeting on Wednesday. The decision was delayed back in July to allow time for a further site visit.
