Tesco moves forward with plans on Killinghall pub site
Tesco has applied for a licence to sell alcohol at the site of the Three Horseshoes pub in Killinghall, which will be demolished and rebuilt as a supermarket.
Tesco has applied for a licence to sell alcohol at the site of the Three Horseshoes pub in Killinghall, which will be demolished and rebuilt as a supermarket.
The company wants to sell alcohol from 6am to 11pm seven days a week in the shop, which it says will create 15 part-time and full-time jobs.
In July, Harrogate Borough Council granted Ilkley company Dynamic Capital Killinghall planning permission to demolish the building and build a shop and four flats.

The council received a petition signed by 232 people objecting to the loss of the pub, which has served Killinghall for 150 years.
Locals also asked public body Historic England to grant the pub listed status, which was rejected.
However, HBC planners decided “the proposal would provide substantial social and environmental benefits” and approved it.
The pub reopened in July after being closed during the lockdown.
A Tesco spokesperson said:
"We believe the new store will be a positive addition to the local community and we aim to be serving customers there in 2021."
