Stakeholders

Sainsbury’s Stakeholder’s

Sainsbury’s have many suppliers, the suppliers interest in the business is that they receive long term contracts, prompt payment and growth of purchases. The suppliers that supply on credit will want secure contracts and guaranteed payment.

The employee stake is that they want satisfactory pay to their job role, safe and good working conditions, job satisfaction and career prospects.

Sainsbury’s owners have risked their own funds when they invested in Sainsbury’s. The owners are shareholders and their ownership of the business is determined by the proportion of the total shares each person holds. If the value of Sainsbury’s grows the owners might be able to see their stake in the business as a profit. The owners can vote at Sainsbury’s annual general meeting and influence policy decisions.

Without the customers of Sainsbury’s it would not exist, customers want to know that the standard of quality of the products they are buying are of a high standard and at a reasonable price. Customers like to know that they can go in one week and the product will be there the next (product availability). Customer service is also very important to customers; they must be able to keep the customers satisfied.

Local authorities can control through planning restrictions. They enforce public health and the trade’s description legislation to stop Sainsbury’s from misleading customers from what they are buying. In turn they benefit from business rates which are local tax that is paid by Sainsbury’s of non-domestic property in England and Wales.

The government wants Sainsbury’s to be a successful business because it receives revenue, HR Revenue & Customs taxes the business profit’s and collects VAT as well as NIC deducted from employees. They also want it to create jobs in the local area.

The local community want the benefits of Sainsbury’s being in the area to outweigh the costs, they want to create more jobs in the area and don’t want the area to be overcrowded or cause more traffic in the area.

The National Trust Stakeholder’s

The members of The National Trust want to see that the money they donate to the charity helps The Trust protecting Britain's most beautiful places for everyone to enjoy.

Local community relies on The National Trust to protect preserve and protect the coastline, countryside and buildings of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They do this in a range of ways, through practical caring and conservation, through learning and discovery, and through encouraging millions of people to visit and enjoy their national heritage and also an opportunity to be involved.

The members of The National Trust want to see that the money they donate to the charity helps The Trust protecting Britain's most beautiful places for everyone to enjoy.

Customers who pay to visit the sites, tearooms, holiday cottages and shops expect a certain standard of goods or service for a reasonable price.

Employees want to know that their job is secure, good working conditions, benefits, the rate of pay deserved of the job, a chance of promotion, treated fairly and with respect and a safe and healthy working environment.

Trade Unions to ensure that voluntary sector workers receive a fair deal in the workplace.

The National Trust has a dramatic effect on local and national communities/businesses the national trust treasures brings millions of tourists to the area meaning they depend on them tourist attractions being in the area to boost sales and business.

Suppliers want secure contracts and guaranteed prompt payment

Sainsbury’s propose to build a new store next to The National Trust’s treasure.

Sainsbury’s want to build a new store next to The National Trust’s treasure

Antony House is set on the outskirts of the town on a 23 acre plot of land and Sainsbury’s want to take the opportunity to build a new store. It is proposed that half the 23-acre site next to the treasured Antony House would be used for the supermarket.

The National Trust members are outraged as they donate money to the organisation in order to preserve and protect Britain’s most beautiful places and one of those being Antony House. The members feel if they are giving a gift aid to The National Trust they should follow through on their aim of preserving “their natural aspects, features, animals and plant life” the building site would have a massive impact this.

Annie Rawlings a member of NT is outraged she said “I don’t want to see the surrounding area of Antony House ruined not only would it take away the rural feel to the house it would be horrendous to look at. Yes I do my weekly food shopping like everyone else but I go into town. It’s ridiculous it’s not like we need any more supermarkets anyway”.

The local community view on the plan of the new Sainsbury’s have said that the benefits outweigh the costs, it will create more jobs in the area as it has quite a high number of unemployment. It could drive the community forward creating 350 more jobs. This would also tie in with the government’s aims to return people back into employment rather than people stuck within the benefit system.

One of Sainsbury’s objectives is to use produce from local farms within a 30 mile radius giving local farmers direct route to market possibility to long term growth and more jobs within the agricultural sector. Mark Watkins said that “this is great business has been a struggle recently and the thought of becoming a local supplier for Sainsbury’s is exciting it could mean I can keep the farm as I haven’t been able to keep up with the payments as business has been so bad” The local suppliers would benefit from the construction of a new Sainsbury’s site as it would create more jobs especially because of the recent economic struggles within the agricultural sector.

The current employees of Antony House for The National Trust are becoming increasingly alarmed over the possible construction and locality of the new Sainsbury’s store Sara Clark said upon interview “Who will want have a daycation to Antony house with that being built over there it ruins everything we are about, it will put loads of us out of jobs. The tourism would sink, it deters people from the historical and natural environment of the land seeing a great big concrete block within eyeshot”

The National Trust need to think about the income aspects of Antony house after the late Alice & Wonderland was filmed in March 2007 on the site of Antony House, this attracts the tourists because of this reason but it takes away the charm and elegance of the house with a Sainsbury’s being built on the side.

Speaking up for the English Countryside

The Government have published the draft of the National Planning Policy Framework for consultation. This is a key part of the reforms to make the planning system less complex and more accessible, and to promote sustainable growth.

For decades our planning system has protected much loved places from harmful development – and steered development to the places where it's needed.

Changes announced this summer will turn this on its head, using the planning system as a tool to promote economic growth ahead of everything else.

We know the planning system needs to change and become simpler, and of course support good growth, but bad reform will lead to bad development appearing throughout England.

Examples of the types of planning application that will fall under the default 'Yes' could mean:

The field you walk your dog could rapidly become developer real estate

Local football pitches could be turned into supermarket car parks

Your high street shops could be converted to executive flats

The grass verges that line your route to work might soon be littered with advertising boards and that's just for starters.

The local community’s and Members of The National Trust are trying to make their voices heard by starting a campaign.

The National Trust Fiona Reynolds (director) has said that English towns and cities proposed changes to the planning system could affect you and the places you love.

For decades the planning system has served the public interest, its protected much loved places and contributed to the economy giving local communities a voice. The Government are using the planning system to promote economic growth over everything else.

The National Trust is an applicant in the planning system, and also speaks up, for and against, development proposals put forward by others. The National Trust knows from their own experience that new development can combine economic benefit with great results for people and the environment.

We call on the Government to ensure that the economic, environmental and social benefits of development go hand in hand and that in the future it will not become possible to see damaging development pushed through on narrow economic ground alone.

The Trust will continue to encourage people to add their voices to our petition, as it is essential the government does not underestimate the strength of feeling among the population.

Although the petition will not stop the planning laws it does make the Government aware of the impacts of what they are doing. The petition states that I believe that the planning system should balance future prosperity with the needs of people and places - therefore I support the National Trust's calls on the Government to stop and rethink its planning reforms.

The Prime Minister David Cameron wrote a letter to Fiona Reynolds

"I believe that sustainable development has environmental and social dimensions as well as an economic dimension, and we fully recognise the need for a balance between the three. Indeed, the purpose of the planning system as a whole, and of our proposals for it, is to achieve such a balance."

In which she commented back saying "We will now do everything in our power to help shape the National Planning Policy Framework into a robust system which enables the people making the decisions to guide good development to the right places. Planning Minister Greg Clark has invited us to work with him to ensure the detail of the document reflects this brief, and we are keen to do so.

My sources for this article have been from

which I believe is a very valid source of evidence as they cannot start a campaign against the government with not reliable evidence.

Ive also was reading information from the telegraph hands of our hand campaign. They have a lot of articles with information about the governments NPPF and although most of their information is bias as they have a campaign against the NPPF it is reliable because they are not allowed to publish untrue information.
