GV of Greggs in Swaffham, Norfolk. December 20, 2024. A posh market town has lost its battle to stop a Greggs' store opening on its high street. More than 1,000 residents in Swaffham, Norfolk, signed a petition and locals threatened a boycott after the chain submitted plans to move into a vacant unit. Townsfolk said big name businesses aren't welcome in the pretty high street amid fears it would kill of a popular family-run bakery. The new shop opened last month without planning permission, but locals still held out hope the local council would take enforcement action against the company. But town hall chiefs have granted the bakery giant the retrospective permission to stay open in a unit left vacant when a budget furniture store closed last year. While Greggs did not require planning permission for use of the former QD Furniture unit, the applications lodged with Breckland Council sought approval for an illuminated sign, a new air conditioning system and an outdoor seating area. It comes after Karl Chappell, a regular customer at Wellbread Bakers, launched a petition against the new Greggs store, attracting more than 1,000 signatures. Wellbread has been based in the town for several decades and loyal customers pledged to boycott the rival bakery if it opened in the town.
