    Plans have been approved to demolish a Harrogate sports and social club to make way for 14 flats and a community facility.

    The proposal by Mitre Residential LLP would see St George’s Sport and Social Club, on St George’s Road, flattened.

    According to planning documents, it would be replaced by a three-storey building comprising of 14 two-bedroom flats and a replacement community facility, which would be used as a dance hall.

    Harrogate Borough Council gave the go-ahead for the plan last week.

    The site was previously used as a sport and social club, but more recently has been used by a dance club.

    The developer said in documents submitted to the council that the proposal would help to relieve pressure on greenfield sites for housing.

    It said:

    “The development will provide 14 two-bedroom flats and the new proposals will be in keeping with the style and type of housing surrounding the site. 
    “The new hall will replace facilities that are no longer required but still provide a viable club for members who have shown an interest in maintaining the facilities.”


    Harrogate Civic Society said in response to the application that it was pleased to see the community facility replaced as part of the plan.

    It said:

    “We are pleased to see a replacement facility, albeit much reduced in size. If this can provide the needs of all those that use the current building, then this is satisfactory.”
