The supermarket chain announced last month that it was planning to open a new purpose-built store on the north Horsham development which is currently under construction.

Ultimately, the development - now called Mowbray - will include 2,750 homes. A new school has already opened on the site.

This week Morrisons lodged an application with Horsham District Council for an alcohol licence for the new store which is planned to be sited off Rusper Road.

The supermarket has said that it plans to offer a full range of fresh food including its ‘market street’ with specialist butchers, bakers and fishmongers.

Around 190 new local jobs are expected to be created.
