A NEW Argos concession store could be opened in Homebase if plans are given the green light by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.

Home Retail Group, which owns Homebase, Argos and Habitat, has applied to the borough council to vary a planning condition placed on the Homebase development when it was approved in 1999, to allow it to include a concessionary Argos section in the store.

The application says that the store would allow customers to pick up items ordered online.
