One hundred and 60 jobs could be created if a multi-million-pound development at the Mercure Wetherby Hotel site in Wetherby is granted planning permission.
Lidl GB and Springfield Healthcare have submitted an updated planning application to Leeds City Council for a new supermarket, care home and senior living accommodation. The resubmission follows further technical work being undertaken to address points raised by planning officers including additional tree planting.
The plans, which received significant support from the local community, include a new supermarket with a 1,392m two sales area featuring Lidl's in-store bakery and customer toilets with baby changing facilities. The scheme includes the company's latest design specifications such as sustainable measures like solar panels on the roof and rapid Electric Vehicle charging points in the car park.
