A plan has been tabled to convert part of the Old Swan hotel in Harrogate into 17 flats.
Northern Trust Company Ltd, part of Classic Lodges which owns the hotel, has submitted the proposal to Harrogate Borough Council.
The company has tabled the plan to convert the ancillary wing of the Grade-II listed building, which dates back to the late 19th century.
In documents submitted to the council, the owners said the part of the hotel had “gradually become redundant” and was “almost entirely vacant”.
The company said in its planning application:
“The existing ancillary wing is not viable as hotel accommodation as there are sufficient rooms in the main buildings and serving the rear wing would be problematic with numerous level changes.”

As part of the plan, the ancillary wing would be converted into 17 one and two-bedroom flats.
The existing staff car park would be extended to the back of the building to provide residential parking.
Harrogate Borough Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
