Developers lodge fresh plan to convert Harrogate office block into flats
A developer has lodged fresh plans to convert Simpson House in Harrogate into flats.
Bramhope Property and Investments Limited has tabled the proposal to North Yorkshire Council to convert the the former office block off Clarence Drive into 12 flats.
Documents submitted to the council detail plans to create 12 two-bedroom apartments.
It would see the ground, first and second floors converted.
The move comes after two previous proposals to change the use of the office block to residential were refused in 2022.
Meanwhile, another application by Artium Group was withdrawn in July 2022 amid concern from Harrogate Borough Council officers over the impact on neighbouring trees.
However, in the latest proposal, developers have said the building is already surrounded by residential properties.
It said:
North Yorkshire Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
