At 30 August 2005's planning committee, Cllr Eryl Williams proposed a refusal of the application due to the impact on roads surrounding the store area and the threat to small businesses. He said: “If you look at Ruthin now, things that were there have gone because the supermarkets have taken over. Tesco I think will kill the town of Ruthin because of what they will provide.
He reminded members how much money has had to be spent in regenerating towns like Rhyl and added perhaps some of the proceeds from the negotiations could be ploughed back into making sure Ruthin town continues to develop and thrive.
