The development site is opposite land at Barton Farm which received planning permission for more than 200 new homes in September.

The company has pledged to create around 200 jobs.

Opposers to the plans have formed the Sherborne Defensive Planning Group, which includes members of the Sherborne Chamber of Trade and Commerce, the No Thanks Tesco campaign group and the Sherborne and District Society of the Campaign to Protect Rural England.

The group, and other interested parties such as residents of Bradford Road and Sherborne Girls’ school, are to meet Tesco representatives today.
