Plans have been approved to convert the former Airline Taxis office in Harrogate into a one-bedroom flat.
The ground floor offices on East Parade are currently vacant after a liquidator was appointed to wind up the company in June last year.
A director’s report to creditors, signed by Airline’s sole director Mohammad Suleman, said the company experienced a “significant decline” in turnover due to lack of travel during the first covid lockdown.
Harrogate Borough Council has now given the go-ahead for the former office to be converted.
Documents lodged to the authority by applicant Mr T Haillday say that the building will retain its existing features and the same floor area as the taxi company office.
It said:
“The existing building will retain the original features internally which at present have been covered over.
“The existing service door to the side will be reduced in size to house a window for the new bedroom. The external features will all be retained.”
