Plans for adult gaming centre on Knaresborough High Street
A former building society in Knaresborough could become a gaming centre if plans are approved.
Carl Bearman of Spectacular Bid Ltd – a company founded in January – has applied to change the use of the premises at 30 High Street, home to Yorkshire Building Society until March 2018.
Mr Bearman is a director of several other companies, including UK Gaming Solutions, Gaming Solutions Group, and Dubai Dynamo.
If given permission to become an adult gaming centre, the unit, which is 60m sq, could have arcade machines and would only be open to people aged 18 or over.
The application was submitted in late March and North Yorkshire Council is accepting comments until Sunday, April 23.
The environmental health department has already raised concerns about the impact on neighbours, saying:
Environmental health officer Mary Jones recommended the applicant should invest in sound proofing and provide an acoustic report to the council about the impact of the proposed change.
To view or comment on the application, visit the planning pages of North Yorkshire Council's website and use reference 23/01169/FUL.
