Residential conversion plan submitted for upper floors of Harrogate estate agency
Plans have been put forward to convert part of a town centre estate agent's office in Harrogate into a two-bedroom flat.
The premises on Albert Street is occupied by North Residential, previously Knight Frank, but under the proposals part of the first floor and all of the second floor would be changed to residential use.
The prior notification documents submitted to change the use of the premises state that other than a meeting room to the rear, the upper floors have been out of use for some time.
The application states:
Access to the upper floors is through the estate agency office on the ground floor. However, the proposals state that a separate application will be made to alter the access and provide a self-contained staircase to the flat.
The plans show it would have a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, with a second bedroom on the top floor.

Supporting information submitted with the plans states:
North Residential began trading last month after a management buy-out of the Harrogate branch of Knight Frank, having been operating it in Harrogate for 15 years.
The business will continue in the ground floor of the Albert Street building, along with a first-floor meeting room to the rear.
