Another Harrogate retail unit could be converted to flats
A Harrogate retailer has submitted plans to convert its top floor into flats.
Documents filed with North Yorkshire Council reveal Shuropody on Oxford Street would convert its top floor into two flats, while retaining the first two floors for retail.
The application was submitted by Edward Ake, of Harrogate firm Sandtoft Properties.
The trend towards town centre living has increased in Harrogate in recent years, with numerous planning applications to convert retail space.
The Stray Ferret wrote about some of the units affected here.
Shuropody is a foot care chain. The top two floors of the Harrogate business are currently occupied by its in-store podiatrist, which advises on footcare issues.

Shuropody has been approached for comment.
