Plans for a new Lidl on the edge of Wetherby have been rejected.
A council planning committee voted unanimously against a scheme to build the supermarket, on the site of the Mercure Hotel off the A58, on Thursday. The proposals included a care home and eight “senior living” homes for elderly people on the same site, while the hotel would have been demolished. The scheme had divided opinion in Wetherby, with supporters claiming a Lidl would boost supermarket competition and provide welcome jobs to the area.
Labour councillor Jools Heselwood was one of several panel members who said she supported the principle of housing on the site, but could not back the supermaket. She told the meeting: “The housing element I absolutely agree with, because it does free up houses down the chain and we need those houses for people who are retiring, but don’t want to live in a care home. “It’s a difficult one, but it’s a dual proposition in front of us. Unfortunately we’ve got to look at it as a whole.
