Shop probe 'to shake up planning'
A competition watchdog will clamp down on any of the big four UK supermarkets being too dominant in any local area, reports suggest.
The Competition Commission will this week publish initial findings of its 18-month probe into Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons.
The watchdog is expected to outline key findings and actions it will take.
It may propose scrapping measures that make it harder for firms to move to an area where they don't have a presence.
Currently a new entrant to a local market must prove that an area requires a new supermarket - a policy seen to favour chains that are already established there.
