Background

DEVSTOP has been started in response to Sainsbury's plan to build a vast new superstore in the small Kent town of Hythe.

With only 15k residents the small town already has 3 supermarkets (the same as neighboring folkestone with 45k residents) Hythe certainly has no need for another supermarket. In fact, Kent County Councils own retail need figures indicate the proposed site would exceed the retail need in the whole of Shepway for many many years to come (certainly beyond the next decade). With the opportunity to plug what could potentially become the last justifiable percent of Shepways retail need, the war is on to control potential retail space at any cost

It is clearly a vast and strategically desirable location for any supermarket chain to dominate, it is also clear that Hythe is being used and abused as part of a supermarket domination turf war.
