The site has been standing vacant for over 20 years
However the town council expressed concern about pedestrian safety and the “precariously narrow” access for HGVs to the site, which is made up of a public car park, with the northern part derelict land following the closure of the cattle market in 2001.The former cattle market buildings were demolished in 2018.
A report to councillors, who are meeting at County Hall in Beverley tomorrow to discuss the application, says : “The proposals would see the redevelopment of this long term, vacant, derelict brownfield site and would have the benefit of bringing the site back into active use, supporting the vitality and viability of Driffield town centre.”
The proposed foodstore will go on the existing Eastgate car park, which is owned by the council and currently provides 128 free car parking spaces.
