    The former Luigi's restaurant on Valley Drive in Harrogate.

    A plan to convert the former Lugii’s restaurant in Harrogate into a flat has been approved.

    The Italian restaurant, which was situated in a residential area on Valley Drive, closed in October 2021.

    Applicant Nidge O’Brien tabled plans to Harrogate Borough Council to convert the building into a two-bedroom apartment.

    Now, the council has approved the plans.

    In a report, the authority said the move would “respect the character and appearance of the existing building and surrounding conservation area”.

    Luigi’s closed its doors on October 17, 2021. In a post on its Facebook page, management at the restaurant said:

    “We have thus reached the end of the journey, and we take this opportunity to thank all the customers who have supported us with their affection during these two years.
    “Luigi’s Restaurant will open its doors for you on Sunday 17th October for the last time.
    “Heartfelt thanks to all of you, it was a pleasure to pamper you and give you the goodness of our simple and genuine dishes.We will meet again, around the county.”
