Harrogate's Old Bell gets holiday accommodation approval
Plans have been approved to convert the upper floors of a traditional Harrogate pub into holiday accommodation.
It will see the second, third and fourth floors above the Old Bell on Royal Parade changed to letting rooms.
The pub is owned by Market Town Taverns, part of Heron and Brearley (H&B) based on the Isle of Man.
The proposal, submitted by Darren Clibbens of H&B, will see the basement, ground and first floors of the building unchanged.
Harrogate Borough Council has given the go-ahead for the plan.
The upper levels of the building are currently vacant office space, according to the application, with one studio apartment on the top floor.
The council’s estates team, and parks and gardens team, have both responded to the application and have not raised any objection.
However, they have asked for consideration to be given to the storage of resulting trade waste on the site, and highlighted the fact that the area in front of the building, including the pavement, forms part of the Stray.
