A planning application, which could have seen a Weston pub turned into a Tesco Express, has been thrown out by North Somerset Council.

Owners Enterprise Inns had asked to build extensions on The Bristol House Inn for an 'additional trading area' - thought to be a condition for Tesco buying the site.

Meanwhile, plans to create 25 new affordable homes at a derelict site on Bristol Road Lower have also been rejected following objections from neighbours ... despite council officers recommending them for approval.
