New restaurant and bar planned on Harrogate's King's Road
Plans have been submitted to open a restaurant and bar, three apartments and retail space on Harrogate's King's Road.
GMI Developments, which is based in Leeds, has lodged the proposals for Ocean House and the former Ramus retail unit on Kings Road.
The developer said the disused properties offered 7,300 square foot of space to be redeveloped into a mixed-use lifestyle and residential development.
The proposal will see a restaurant and bar, called Frog, open. It would be managed by Roger Moxham, one of the founding owners of the Cold Bath Brewing company.
The new restaurant, which will be based in Ocean House and create up to 20 new jobs, comprises a 70-seat internal restaurant and bar with external pavement and courtyard seating.
Mr Moxham said:
The Ocean House and former Ramus unit have stood empty since January last year.

The proposals include creating two apartments above the restaurant. Meanwhile, the former Ramus unit will remain in retail use with an apartment above.
An industrial unit on Bolton Street would be demolished to create parking space and outside amenity space for the new apartments.
Chris Gilman, managing director at GMI Developments, said:
Harrogate Borough Council will make a decision on the proposal at a later date.
