Agents Savills and CBRE will be marketing the site shortly."However, now Wetherspoons has said it is planning to develop the building into one of its pubs. after all.

Wetherspoons spokesman Eddie Gershon said: "The company has decided to develop its site in Wetherby into one of its pubs.The plans proved controversial when they were first announced, with some locals saying they feared "drunkeness and unpleasant behaviour".
