Under the plans, the store would be open from 8am to 9pm on weekdays, 8am to 7pm on Saturdays and 11am to 5pm on Sundays.

A report to Walsall Council, reads: "Since the condition was previously amended, our client has seen an increase in competition in the town. A number of new retailers such as B&M Bargains, Morrisons, 99p Stores and Tesco have opened in recent years."
