Plan to convert former Harrogate guest house into co-living accomodation
A former guest house in Harrogate could be converted into a house in multiple occupation.
Leeds-based Abbeycrown Ltd has tabled proposals to North Yorkshire Council to change the property at 6 Dragon Parade, which is known as Dragon House, into co-living accommodation.
In documents submitted the council, the developer said the guest house had seen a downturn in trade during the covid pandemic.
It added that, as a result, the property was “unviable as a guest house”.
The proposal would see the building converted into an eight-bedroom house of multiple occupation.
The developer said in its planning statement:
It added that tenants would be “fully vetted and verified people” and would not have a detrimental impact on the surrounding area and neighbours.
A house in multiple occupation is a property rented out by at least three people who are not from the same household, but share facilities such as a kitchen and bathroom.
North Yorkshire Council will make a decision on the proposal at a later date.
