Plan to convert former Hampsthwaite surgery into a house
Plans have been submitted ti turn a former doctors surgery in Hampsthwaite into a house.
Dr Bannatyne and Partners, which was based at Winksey Cottage, High Street, in the village closed in March.
The surgery was part of Church Avenue Medical Group and shut down after practitioners felt the cottage was no longer a viable place for a medical practice.
A proposal to close the surgery submitted to North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group said:
Now, Mozaffar Mari, a developer who bought the property, has submitted plans to Harrogate Borough Council to convert the former surgery into a house.
The developer said in an application to the council that the building had been previously used as a house before becoming a surgery and could be "readily converted back" into a home.
The borough council will make a decision on the proposal at a later date.
