Development Securities, which was previously involved in the regeneration of Huyton town centre, also said the Everton relocation decision is out of its hands.
Mr Weiner said: “We are neutral on that point and would like the people of Kirkby to decide.
“But we do think Liverpool’s design of a stadium set in a park is a more sustainable format than one tacked on to the end of a retail park.”
A Tesco spokeswoman today said some 1,700 people attended a public engagement exhibition about their plans at Kirkby Leisure Centre last week.
The exhibition was ahead of a planning application bid to Knowsley council before the end of the year.
He said: “During the exhibition it became apparent that a number of inaccuracies have been circulating about the development.
“Tesco and Everton Football Club would like to make it a matter of public record that the new Kirkby Leisure Centre on Cherryfield Drive falls outside of the development site and will not be demolished as part of our proposals.
“Tesco can also confirm that it will not be seeking planning permission to build a distribution centre in Kirkby.
“Tesco can also reveal that its planning application will include a number of development opportunities in the existing town centre.
“Tesco is proposing to invest a six-figure sum into the Kirkby market.
“A full consultation will take place with the market traders to ensure that a modern and attractive trading environment.”
The Development Securities public consultation takes place at 5 St Chad's Parade, Kirkby town centre, between 10am and 6pm tomorrow and Saturday.
