These pictures - obtained exclusively by the Keighley News - show for the first time what the town's new £20m Asda superstore will look like.

It is to be built off Bradford Street, on the site currently occupied by Peter Black's distribution centre.

The secondary store entrance shown here will be in a widened Bradford Road, almost opposite the railway station.

The superstore will boast a 40,000sq ft sales area, around 60 per cent of which will be given over to food and the remainder to non-food items such as George clothing, music and video, DVD players, televisions and white goods.

Its main entrance will front on to Bradford Street.

There will be a 460-plus-space car park, as well as some parking provision for the nearby mosque. A landscaping scheme is proposed around the perimeter of the site.

As well as the widening of Bradford Road, extensive road changes will include the installation of traffic lights and the provision of traffic calming measures in Bradford Street.

The new store, which will also feature a café, will create 370 full and part-time jobs.

Outline planning permission for the scheme was granted in September 2006. Now an application has been submitted for "reserved matters", referring to design issues.

The new store is due to open in 2009.

IDS Logistics (UK) Ltd, which now operates the Black's distribution centre, said it had been told to vacate the site by June but may move out earlier.

Finance director Steve Ellis said: "We are transferring some of the business into the Peter Black Airedale Mills site, at Lawkholme Lane, where there has been several hundred thousand pounds of investment.

"Between 80 and 100 people are employed at Bradford Street. Inevitably there will be compulsory redundancies and that is regrettable. However, the Asda development is creating many new jobs and the scheme has got to be good for the town."

Warehousing contractor IDS Logistics was established through the acquisition of PB Logistics, a subsidiary of Peter Black, by the IDS Group, in September, last year.
