Plans approved to convert 53 Bo Grove into two flats
Plans have been approved to convert part of the former 53 Bo Grove antiques boutique and cafe into two flats.
The bohemian business on Grove Road in Harrogate closed in December 2021 after more than two years of business.
It became a hub for residents during the early coronavirus lockdowns by remaining open to sell food at a time when many supermarkets were struggling for stock.
Now, a plan to convert part of the building into two flats has been given the go-ahead.
The proposal has been lodged by Architecture One Eight Ltd on behalf of David Birtles.
A planning statement tabled to Harrogate Borough Council from the developers said the proposal would help to bring the building back into use.
It said:
A separate proposal to convert another part of the building into three flats was refused over concerns that the scheme “would not provide adequate natural light” into rooms in the flats.
