Harrogate's first Lidl set to be given go-ahead
Harrogate Borough Council officers have recommended councillors approve Lidl's application to build its first supermarket in Harrogate. The new store would be built on the former Lookers car dealership on Knaresborough Road.
A plan to open Harrogate’s first Lidl supermarket looks set to be given the green light.
Harrogate Borough Council officers have recommended the proposal for Knaresborough Road is approved at a planning committee meeting on Tuesday next week.
If councillors ratify this, it would pave the way for the store to be built on the former Lookers car dealership site.
The multi-million pound proposal includes a 1,263 square metre sales area, an in-store bakery, customer toilets and 94 parking spaces.
It would open from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.

Lidl has also submitted plans for a new store in Ripon.
The German supermarket chain has lodged proposals for a store at St Michael’s Retail Park in the city.
Earlier this month, the application won the support of Ripon City Council.
Cllr Andrew Williams, leader of the city council, said:
“It will bring 40 new jobs, increase choice for Ripon’s residents and also serve our growing population, with the new homes that we have coming on stream.”
