Starbeck KFC submits plans to expand
KFC in Starbeck has tabled plans to expand its premises to offer more seating.
Under proposals submitted to Harrogate Borough Council, the fast-food chain would take over and convert the former Age UK shop next door to create more space for seating.
An area for 14 seats would be created and a new disabled and unisex toilet installed.
The conversion of the unit would also see a new main entrance built.
The current KFC is mainly used as a takeaway.
In documents submitted to the council, development consultants Pegasus Group, which has lodged the plan on behalf of KFC, said the proposal would mean the takeaway could operate as a restaurant.

The proposal becomes the latest fast-food plan for Starbeck High Street.
A proposal to convert a former laundrette in the area was submitted to the council earlier this month.
The premises at 47 High Street had been a launderette since the 1980s before being used as an off licence and a clothes shop in recent years.
A new application by owner Mark Leicester could see it changed to a takeaway.
