Supermarket chain Netto has confirmed it will be submitting plans for a new Otley store.

The company, which currently has a store on Crossgate, Otley, announced in January that it had bought the former Otley Motors site on Pool Road, in a deal believed to be in excess of £2 million.

The lack of developments since then had caused some to speculate that the firm might be considering pulling out of the move.

But head of Netto UK's property department, William Smith said: "We haven't submitted a planning application yet but we will be doing so in the next few weeks, and I have no reason to believe we won't be opening a new store in Otley."
