Harrogate town centre offices to be converted into apartments
A plan to convert an office block in Harrogate town centre into new apartments has been given the go-ahead.
Harrogate Borough Council approved proposals to transform the building on Cambridge Road into eight apartments.
Developers Lake House Investments, which is based near Brighouse, submitted the plans for the three-storey building.
The plans would see the first and second floors converted for residential use. The ground floor is currently occupied by bakers Greggs and a YMCA charity shop.
In its proposals, Lake House said the site had “excellent transport links” and was just a few minutes walk from the train station.
