SUPERMARKET chain Tesco has submitted a third application to build a mini-market on the site of a former garage.

Officials from the store met planning officials before the plans were sent to the council for the proposed Express store in North Road, Darlington.

Two sets of plans for the former Shell garage have previously been rejected by the council's planning committee. An appeal is due to be heard later this year into the second application.

The latest plans were sent to Darlington Borough Council's planning department yesterday.
