A new Sainsbury’s store is to open on the edge of a major Leicestershire housing development. The 'top up' shop is set to create 20 jobs, according to the planning application.

The Sainsbury’s Local will be on land in Welsted Road, Castle Donington, and forms part of the major Stud Brook Business Park scheme which sits opposite hundreds of new homes being built in the area. The land had originally been touted to become a pub, but applicant Clowes Developments said the change would still provide residents with something for the community to use.

The decision is the second in a number of days for the Welsted Road area after Clowes’ plan for a drive-thru Starbucks was given the go ahead. That plan will create nine full-time jobs and 12 full-time positions, according to planning documents.

The developer said the new shop would have 25 parking spaces. Clowes Developments claimed there was no other “suitable or viable” location for the store, which will be close to East Midlands Airport. It added that Welsted Road was a “sustainable” location for the proposal - something officials on North West Leicestershire District Council (NWLDC) agreed with.

NWLDC put a number of conditions on the plan, including opening hours of 7am to 11pm daily to meet the “interests of living conditions” for residents and building work being restricted to 7am and 7pm Mondays to Saturdays, with no construction allowed on Sundays or bank holidays.

Amazon hit with fresh class action-style suit in UK -- $3.4B in competition damages sought for 200,000+ sellers
Amazon is facing another competition lawsuit in the U.K. The latest claim, which was filed Thursday, is seeking more than £2.7 billion in damages — or around $3.4 billion at current exchange rates — before the U.K.'s Competition Appeals Tribunal. The case is being brought by Andreas Stephan, a professor of competition law at the University of East Anglia and head of its Law School, on behalf of more than 200,000 U.K. third-party sellers on Amazon. The lawsuit argues Amazon has abused a dominant position in the supply of marketplace services to third-party sellers to reach customers in the U.K. in a variety of ways — including by discriminating in favor of its own retail offerings instead of those of third parties; discriminating in favor of its own logistics services (Fulfilled by Amazon, or FBA); and unfairly conditioning access to its membership product Prime on use of FBA.

Monique White, Self Financial financial expert and head of community, joins Wealth! to share valuable insights for addressing this widespread issue.
