Yoga studio plan for former Laura Ashley shop approved
A yoga studio is set to open in the former Laura Ashley shop in Harrogate after plans were approved.
Harrogate Borough Council has given the go-ahead for the unit on James Street to be converted into a boutique yoga and pilates studio.
Ebru Evrim, which lodged the proposal, currently provides classes in Skipton and sells activewear clothing.
In documents submitted to the council, the owner said they wanted to replicate the business in Harrogate town centre.
As part of the plan, the unit will be converted into retail and teaching space over three floors.
