    The Kings Club, which described itself as 'Yorkshire premier gentleman's club', was open until 4.30am.

    Plans have been submitted to convert the former Kings Club in Harrogate into 12 flats.

    Applicant James Robinson wants to change the use of the first and second floor of the building from entertainment to residential use.

    The Kings Club, which described itself as 'Yorkshire premier gentleman's club', was open until 4.30am on Oxford Street.

    Harrogate Borough Council renewed its sexual entertainment licence, which allowed topless pole dancing, topless stage strip tease and full nudity lap dancing, in September 2020.

    But the club last updated its Facebook page in April and is now closed.

    The building, known as Villa Mercedes, could be given a new lease of life.

    Consultants Nova Acoustics have undertaken an environmental noise survey and noise impact assessment to assess the suitability of the site, which is situated on the corner of Oxford Street, close to the bus station.

    Its report assesses current noise levels and provides a sound insulation scheme to protect the occupants, if the scheme is approved. It says:

    "The area surrounding the site is primarily commercial in nature. The noise profile is typical for this type of area and is dominated by road traffic noise emissions from surrounding roads."


    Harrogate Borough Council will decide whether to approve the plans.
