Plans to convert Harrogate church hall into townhouses
Plans have been submitted to convert a hall that is part of a Grade II listed church in Harrogate into townhouses.
Inglehurst Property has applied to Harrogate Borough Council to create two three-bedroom properties for older people in the hall of Trinity Methodist Church, on Trinity Road, near the Stray.
Under the proposals, a new slate roof would be added to the building as well as an extra floor to accommodate the bedrooms and bathrooms.
Planning documents say the methodist church closed the hall several years ago to raise funds to repair the adjoining church, which opened in 1879.

The hall was sold to the First Church of Christ Scientist, which used it for services until membership dwindled.
Last year, Harrogate’s Muslim community identified the hall as a site for the district’s first mosque but this does not appear to have progressed.
