A scheme to build a Tesco Express shop as part of the re-development of the Esso petrol station, next to the A40 outside Eynsham, have been rejected by west Oxfordshire planners.
Esso want to demolish the existing Acre Hill service station and build a new one which would include a Tesco Express shop similar to the one at Witney's Ducklington Lane.
Members of West Oxfordshire District Council's lowlands planning sub-committee refused to grant permission for the scheme.
Councillor Barry Norton said: "I consider it a wholly inappropriate use of the site which has a dangerous access. The Tesco shop could have an impact on the shops in Eynsham."
