B&M Bargains is named as the applicant and the graphics accompanying the plans show how the company's logo would look on the old M&S branch in Prince Street.

That closed last April but when the Free Press asked B&M in January this year if it was opening in Bridlington, a spokesperson said they were 'not aware of this store opening at the moment'.

The chain has been operating for more than 40 years and has more than 600 stores in the UK, including shops in Scarborough, Driffield and Beverley.

It employs around 28,000 staff and serves four million customers every week.

The planning application gives no details of when the Bridlington store might open or how many jobs would be created.
