It requested permission to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises between 6am and midnight daily, and provide late night refreshment between 11pm and midnight daily.

The application also listed the opening hours as being 6am to midnight seven days a week.

New documents show that plans are being pushed forward to open the New Milton store, even though there is already a Tesco Express half a mile away on Old Milton Road.

A Tesco spokesperson told Echo’s sister paper Bournemouth Echo in October: “We’re always looking for the best ways to serve local communities and are excited to be planning a new Tesco Express store in New Milton.

“We will keep the local community updated with our plans as we get closer to opening.”
