The city's former Pirelli site has been earmarked for the store

Swedish furniture retailer Ikea has formally submitted a planning proposal to build a new store in Southampton.
The company claims the store would create 500 jobs locally if it gets the go-ahead from the city council.
The development on the former Pirelli site, on West Quay Road, would see a store built over four floors with 900 car parking spaces.
The planning application marks the company's third attempt to open a store in the city.
