Next had sought permission to expand its "Home" store on Seamer Road into a currently vacant unit previously occupied by Magnet Kitchens.The firm said it was "keen to continue trading within Scarborough", and plans submitted to the council stated that the consolidation of the business's offer in Scarborough into a single location would enable the company to maintain its long-term presence in the town.
No objections
A highway assessment noted there would be "a maximum of 21 additional movements in any one hour associated with the increased floorspace".The applicant said an additional parking demand of five vehicles could be accommodated by its existing parking spaces, which "continue to be adequate to serve the retail park".According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, no objections were raised by the Highway Authority, nor were any objections received from members of the public.Planning officers said the design of the shopfront was considered "appropriate in the context of the modern retail park and would complement this style of unit".The retailer previously said its premises in the Brunswick Centre was on a "rolling lease with a three-month notice of termination".It added that the centre's owners, Scarborough Group International, had "indicated they expect to serve notice soon in order to progress with their redevelopment plans".

Immigration piling ‘unsustainable' pressure on public services, warns top UK financial watchdog
IMMIGRATION is creating a strain on public services, a top official at the UK's fiscal watchdog has warned. Economist David Miles said the country's reliance on overseas workers 'could not be sustained'. 2 The Office for Budget Responsibility official urged Labour to target worklessness at home rather than relying on mass migration. Mr Miles wrote: ' Immigration, which primarily involves those of working age, delays the impact of the ageing of the population and is the driver of population growth. 'Some conclude a faster rise in the population will be beneficial in alleviating acute underlying fiscal pressures. 'But there are serious problems with that idea.' He argued migrants still use schools, hospitals and other services and eventually become eligible for benefits. Mr Miles said the answer lies in tackling the post-Covid — which was mainly driven by Brits. He wrote: 'The fiscal benefits of helping people, especially young people, back into employment are substantial.' It comes as Labour faces a backlash over Britain's soaring benefits bill after caving to backbench rebels and watering down reforms. Mr Miles' comments mark a major intervention from a senior figure at the OBR, which has long treated immigration as an economic good. The OBR has admitted low-paid migrants are a net drain — costing taxpayers £150,000 each by the time they hit state pension age. Data shows immigration fuelled England and Wales' population growth by 700,000 in a year to June 2024. 2 The Sun watches as hundreds of illegal migrants arrive at Dover

Banks see share prices rocket after being saved from paying out billions in car finance scandal
BANKS saw rocketing share prices yesterday after being saved from paying out tens of billions of pounds in the car finance scandal. Lloyds saw a jump after the Supreme Court removed the threat of £44billion industry pay-outs. Shares at the banking group rose eight per cent while Close Brothers soared by as much as 34 per cent at one stage after the Friday ruling. Barclays saw a jump of two per cent. Around 14 million drivers could still be entitled to pay worth up to £18billion but only for large commissions seen as unfair, going back to 2007. The case focuses on commissions paid by the lenders to car dealers with some higher interest rates which were not then properly relayed to buyers. But judges found dealers did not owe a 'fiduciary duty' of loyalty to customers. There is now concern over the fact firms might have to keep records from decades ago. John Phillipou of the Finance & Leasing Association said: 'I don't think it's good for investability that the reason for keeping the data is that you might get sued in 15 years time.' Chancellor Rachel Reeves was said to be ready to intervene if the bill hit £44billion — due to the damage it could do to the UK as a place of business. A compensation scheme will be consulted on in October. Drivers are set to see pay-outs of less than £950 from as early as next year, the Financial Conduct Authority said. eBay payment shake-up, Lloyds Bank sets aside £1.2billion for car finance payouts and little-known benefit Lloyds had put aside more than £1billion for the fall-out but said any change is 'unlikely to be material' for the group. 1

Raheem Sterling's latest brutal Chelsea snub proves there is no way back for him under Enzo Maresca - with forward training away from first-team squad
Raheem Sterling tops a list of nine Chelsea players who have been brutally banished from Enzo Maresca 's first-team - and from the club's website. Sterling, 30, and his fellow outcasts do not feature in Maresca's plans next season and as such, none of them have a profile or photo in the Blues' first-team section. The forward spent the previous campaign on loan at Arsenal and Chelsea are actively working to ship him out permanently during the summer window. He moved to Stamford Bridge from Manchester City just three years ago in a deal worth a little under £50million, having won four Premier League titles at the Etihad. However, his stint at Chelsea rapidly unfolded into a nightmare, resulting in him making a last-ditch switch to North London, where he scored one goal in 27 matches. Maresca has made it clear that Sterling is not included in his plans and the clock is now ticking as the Blues look to find buyers for their unwanted players. Mail Sport reported that those up for sale, such as Sterling and left back Ben Chilwell, are expected to continue training separately to Maresca's main group. Chelsea have spent big this summer, splashing the cash on forwards Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens from Brighton and Borussia Dortmund respectively. That resulted in Sterling slipping further away from the first-team picture - and off the website. Two other players who do not have profiles, Armando Broja and Lesley Ugochukwu, are set to join Premier League newcomers Burnley after a day of breakthroughs. Their exact fees have not yet been confirmed but are likely to be around £20m each. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is another on his way out. Indeed, as reported by Mail Sport, Everton began talks over a deal worth an inital £25m plus add-ons. The midfielder set Chelsea back £30m when they swooped to bring him in from Leicester City last season, but he made just two top-flight starts under Maresca. Academy graduate Alfie Gilchrist is also missing a first-team profile on the website, joining Axel Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka, Renato Veiga and David Datro Fofana in the doldrums, and on the edge of Maresca's bloated senior group. Officially, there are 31 players currently listed as first-teamers. However, several big names who have made the cut could also find themselves leaving before the window slams shut on September 1, such as Christopher Nkunku. Mykhailo Mudryk has been given a profile photo despite being charged by the FA for violating its anti-doping rules after failing a drugs test. He faces a four-year ban. Mudryk has not played for Chelsea since November 28 and cannot train.
