A planning application has been submitted to replace four garages with townhouses in the centre of Ripon.
The garages, to the north of Court Terrace just off Kirkgate, would be demolished so the four two-bedroomed townhouses could be built.
Each of the four homes would have a small courtyard of around 9 square metres to the rear, along with a cobble-set frontage of 13.5 square metres. There would be space for four cars to be parked outside.
An application submitted last year was turned down by Harrogate Borough Council over fears that the area, known for gypsum deposits, was not proven to be stable for development. Although the applicant, Mike Kell, provided a report from an environmental consultancy, the council's decision notice said:
A new geotechnical report on the site has been submitted with the current application.
The new application can be viewed in full on the planning pages of Harrogate Borough Council's website using reference 20/02809/FUL.
