Plan approved to convert former Pateley Bridge police station into home
A former police station in Pateley Bridge will be turned into a home after plans were approved.
The owners of Kendall’s Farm Butchers in the town bought the station on King Street.
Former North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan announced last year that the building would be sold as part of cost-cutting measures.
The Stray Ferret later revealed in July this year that the station was sold for £297,000. It was estimated to sell for £142,000.
In a planning application submitted to Harrogate Borough Council by Paul Kendall, a third generation butcher, the family bought the building to relocate to Pateley Bridge.
Now, the council has approved the plan.
Planning documents reveal they had been looking to relocate closer to the business for many years but were unable to find anywhere suitable.
Harrogate architect James Robinson, who submitted the plan on behalf of the Kendalls, wrote that living within 200 metres of the main shop in Pateley will be “revolutionary” for the family, as it will allow for a much better work-life balance.
