SAINSBURY'S has asked for a plan which stopped it from installing a cash machine outside an Oxford store to be looked at again.

Last year it asked for permission to put the machine outside its new store on St Aldate's.

Oxford City Council refused because it feared it could 'cause a conflict of public and private space', and 'create the opportunity for crime and raising the fear of crime'.

The council also said the street is too narrow for the cash machine.

But Sainsbury's has appealed to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to have the decision reversed.
