The board states that “your new Sainsbury’s Thanet opens winter 2014”. Planning permission has been granted by Thanet District Council under application number F/TH/12/0781 for the "erection of retail superstore (use Class A1) (approx 14,400 sqm GEA), petrol filling station and public open space with associated landscaping, servicing, car parking, access and link road, together with outline application for 1 and 2 storey buildings for non-food retail, restaurants and or take away uses (Use Classes A1, A3-A5) with associated parking and open space, following demolition of existing buildings". The location was described as “land and buildings south of Westwood Cross and between New Haine Road and Margate Road, Broadstairs”. It is an enormous site, some of which is hidden behind hoarding, beyond the roundabout, in this view. This is how Image looks now it has been completed.
