Plans have been submitted for a new Lidl supermarket in the Leeds district with the promise of "40 new jobs".
The Mercure Hotel on Leeds Road, Wetherby, has been eyed for development with plans to bulldoze the site. The proposal was submitted to Leeds City Council on October 7 with a series of supporting documents, including artistic impressions and blueprints of how the supermarket will look.
Planning firm Lichfields, representing Lidl, have also lodged plans for an 84-bed elderly care home on the site - which they say will create 95 new jobs - and eight senior living homes.
