A Harrogate care home has tabled plans to expand and increase the number of bedrooms on its site by 20.
Apley Grange, which is based on Oatlands Drive, has submitted the plans to Harrogate Borough Council.
The move would see the number of bedrooms increased from 40 to 60.
As part of the plan, alterations would be made to three of the buildings on the site. A garage would also be demolished as part of the extension.
The Society of the Holy Child Jesus, which runs the home, said in documents submitted to the council that the move would also create 20 full-time jobs and bring the total number of staff at the facility up to 80.
The society added that the proposals would help to “ensure the viability over the next generation” for the home.
It said:
Harrogate Borough Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
