Have your say on Tesco plan: COMMENT ON THIS STORY
Developers are urging people to give their views on new affordable homes and plans for a Tesco supermarket as part of a £40m scheme at High Stakesby.
Residents will soon get the chance to see for themselves plans to bring new affordable homes, new extra care facilities, a new supermarket and filling station to Whitby.
S Harrison, the developer behind the scheme on land at High Stakesby owned by the Order of the Holy Paraclete, is staging an exhibition over two days at Whitby's Coliseum next month.
Local people are being invited to have their say before Harrison submits a planning application to Scarborough Borough Council later in the year.
S Harrison director David Clancy told the Whitby Gazette: "We're excited about the benefits which our scheme will bring.
"We believe this is the right development, in the right place for Whitby.
"We've had a very positive response so far and we really want to hear what local people think to make sure that we deliver what is best for the town and its residents."
The Whitby Gazette first reported the plans in a front page splash last month.
Harrison has teamed up with supermarket giant Tesco to build a new eco store with a sales area of 35,000 sq ft which they say would provide around 300 new jobs for local people.
Harrison also plans to partner with Broadacres Housing Association, to build 90 new affordable homes for local people and families to buy or rent.
With Broadacres, they are exploring the scope to provide extra care homes for older people, if the county council gives its backing.
