Plans for a huge new Sainsbury's supermarket look set to get the thumbs-up.
A new 1,150sq ft superstore has been proposed for land north of London Road, Stanway, including a new petrol station, car wash, cafe and supermarket.
The new development would also provide about 40 new jobs.
A planning application to Colchester Council states that the store is looking to "improve the customer experience' but has little or no room to expand on the existing site".
