North Yorkshire Council has approved plans to create seven new flats on Harrogate’s Parliament Street.
The scheme will see the former Sofa Workshop unit, which is next to the now closed Bijouled store, converted to living accommodation.
The upper floor of the former Moko nightclub and office space will also be adapted to become flats.
The former Bijouled unit will be retained under the plans.
In documents submitted to the council, the developer, JC Robinson Ltd, said the application would cause no harm to the grade two listed building.
It added:
“Subject to further detailing of internal and external works including the design of new window and door openings to the exterior of the building, it is considered that the development can be undertaken without giving rise to harm to the significance of the listed building.”
Moko closed in 2019 and Bijouled ceased trading in February last year.
The former Sofa Workshop shut in April 2022 after the company entered administration.
