One of Ripon's famous public houses could soon be converted as part of a residential redevelopment of the site at Bondgate

The conversion of a famous former Ripon pub into flats as part of a new housing development is moving a step closer.

In October 2021 Harrogate Borough Council granted planning permission to convert the Ship Inn on Bondgate into five two-bedroom flats.

The vacant site has attracted various incidents of anti-social behaviour since the pub closed in 2020.

The new development will see the construction of four terraced houses and a detached dwelling on the site.

Original proposals to redevelop the site, which include the creation of 14 parking spaces, were submitted by Leeds-based NRG Homes (Yorkshire) Ltd.

Now Sharow-based firm Watson Batty Properties LLP has applied to the council to vary the planning conditions to allow for the external use of brick and render in the development.

Planning documents submitted to the council say the development should begin on or before October 13, 2024.

At the time of submitting the planning application NRG Homes (Yorkshire) Ltd. said:

“The site is now better suited for residential use, which help bring a more appropriate residential feel for the community, limited to scale and type which does not cause nuisance.
“The provision of new residents will potentially have some benefit to local enterprises and will add to and consolidate the general activity of Ripon.”
