Harrogate's Old Courthouse could become townhouses
Plans have been lodged to convert the Old Courthouse in Harrogate town centre into three townhouses.
The building on Raglan Street was previously occupied by Stowe Family Law, which vacated the property for another site in town in February this year.
Proposals have now been tabled by Park Design Architects to convert the site from offices into two three-bedroom and one two-bedroom townhouse.
Six car parking spaces are also included in the plans.
The developer said in documents submitted to the council that the site was a “sustainable location” for new homes.
It said:
Harrogate Borough Council will make a decision on the proposal at a later date.

The original building was built in 1857 and was initially a police house for the town.
This was later demolished and replaced with a courthouse, which was used by justices of the borough until 1991.
Stowe Family Law moved into the property as tenants in 2004.
