A FARMFOODS store could be built on the site of the former Athersley Arms if planning bosses agree.
The company has applied to demolish the Smithies building and build a new, fit-for-purpose building.
The application said the property had been bought by Farmfoods and will be traded by them once the alterations are complete.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
