Calderdale could be set to welcome a new Greggs.

Motor Fuel Group (MFG) has submitted plans for changes at Morrisons’ filling station at Jubilee Way, Elland, which include an extension which would house the bakery.

In a supporting letter with the application, consultants Carney Sweeney, on behalf of MFG, say changes will include an extension to the existing petrol station’s sales building, and installation of two air “wash and vac” units.

“As part of MFG’s proposals to upgrade facilities across their portfolio of Morrison petrol filling stations, they are also taking the opportunity to propose an extension to the existing kiosk/shop, to provide an improved offer to visiting motorists,” says the letter.

“The proposed extension to the east of the existing sales building will accommodate a Greggs.”

The letter says while selling fuel remains the priority focus for filling stations like this, road users expect a bit more.

“Increasingly, facilities and services such as the provision of complementary food and drink and even the ability to pick up top-up convenience goods such as bread and milk are expected, so the Greggs is being proposed in order to meet consumer demand.

“The proposed Greggs is complementary to the main fuel offer, and they help support one another in terms of overall revenue generation whilst also meeting the needs and expectations of road users,” says the supporting document.
