A plan to convert Hampsthwaite's former doctors' surgery into a house has been approved at the second attempt.

Dr Bannatyne and Partners, which was based at Winksey Cottage, High Street, in the village, closed in March last year.

The surgery was part of Church Avenue Medical Group and shut down after practitioners felt the cottage was no longer a viable place for a medical practice.

Mozaffar Nami, a developer, lodged plans to convert the building into a house.

Harrogate Borough Council initially rejected the proposal in November on the grounds that the applicant had not demonstrated that the site had been empty for more than three months.

Now the developer has had plans approved after resubmitting proposals for the former surgery.

Mr Mari said in documents submitted to the council that the building had been previously used as a house before becoming a surgery and could be “readily converted back” into a home.
