Sawley Arms submits cafe and shop extension plan
The Sawley Arms near Ripon.
A pub near Ripon has submitted plans to extend in order to create a cafe and village shop.
The Sawley Arms, which has eight bedrooms and is popular with diners, has applied to Harrogate Borough Council for the extension.
It would see a ground floor and first floor extension built at the pub on Lowgate Lane.
In documents submitted to the council by Leeds-based NJ-Architects on behalf of the pub, it said the extension would also provide more jobs for the local area.
It said:
“The proposed extensions incorporate our client’s criteria regarding the provision of additional local employment, providing a village shop, a café to serve the many visitors and locals, and environmental awareness whilst re-evaluating the local vernacular.
“We believe the design results in a extension that respects the character of the site, the village, the AONB and also achieves a contemporary, comfortable and understated destination.”

The authority will make a decision on the extension plans at a later date.
The move comes as the pub was recently granted an extension to its licensing hours.
In October, Steve Manton, owner of the Sawley Arms, applied for an extension until 1am, seven days a week.
But Harrogate Borough Council’s licensing committee decided on Friday that alcohol could only be served until midnight.
