Plan submitted to convert Knaresborough mill into banking hub
A plan has been submitted to convert part of a grade-II listed former Knaresborough mill into a banking hub.
Cash Access UK has lodged the plan for the building on Kirkgate in the town.
The mill was built in the 18th century and was most recently used as a tile showroom.
The developer plans to convert the ground floor of the former mill into a banking hub, which will offer a counter service operated by the Post Office where customers of all major banks and building societies can carry out regular cash transactions.
It will also provide a community banker service where customers can talk to their own banking provider about more complicated issues, from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
The company identified the former mill as its site for the banking hub in June.
At the time, Gareth Oakley, chief executive at Cash Access UK, said:
North Yorkshire Council will make a decision on the proposal at a later date.
Cash Access UK is owned and funded by 10 of the UK’s biggest banking providers: Bank of Ireland, Barclays, Danske Bank, HSBC UK, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide Building Society, NatWest Group, Santander, TSB and Virgin Money.
