Plans to extend the bar at Mojo in Harrogate have been approved by North Yorkshire Council.

Voodoo Doll Limited, which trades as Mojo, submitted plans in September to convert commercial office space on the first floor into a seating area.

The council has now approved the move for the venue on Parliament Street, which is in the Harrogate Conservation Area, in a decision notice published yesterday.

Case officer Josh Arthur said:

""The change of use is proposed at first floor level, and this will provide additional capacity for the bar in operation. This is recognised to enhance the evening and night-time economy in the town centre.
"The development would respect the character and appearance of the heritage asset and the surrounding locality.
"The proposal would not harm the vitality and viability of Harrogate town centre, and would support the district's economy in compliance."


Mojo was established in 1996 in Leeds and has since opened bars in Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield.

The Harrogate bar opened in 2018 and is now a prominent part of the town's night scene.
