SAINSBURY'S says it is preparing to work closely with B&Q to begin converting the DIY store in Hull Road, York, into a supermarket.
A company spokeswoman, speaking after City of York Council approved the store despite vociferous local opposition, said it was delighted by the decision.
"The application must now be referred to the Secretary of State, before planning permission can be issued," she said.
"We will then work closely with B&Q to begin the process of converting the building into a foodstore and will keep everyone updated throughout the next stages."
