Sawley Arms celebrates planning permission for café and shop
The Sawley Arms near Ripon has been granted planning permission for a café and shop to be added onto the site.
The plans, submitted by Leeds-based NJ-Architects, were approved by Harrogate Borough Council last week.
The building will be extended to create a village shop and coffee shop, and the current conservatory will be replaced with a new seating area.
The shop will include household essentials, as well as fresh morning goods and takeaway sandwiches.
The deli-style shop will feature ready-to-go food which can be reheated at home, and a coffee shop will also be added.

The plans will create new jobs roles for the local community.
Steve Harryman, project manager of The Sawley Arms, said:
The proposals have been under discussion for eight years and are finally coming to fruition. The pub said Sawley is “a delicate area for development, as it is part of an AONB”.
The completion date is not yet certain and “depends on builder availability”, Mr Harryman said.
