The Lingerie Room in Harrogate is to be converted into a home.

The shop is due to permanently close on July 31, with owner Nicola Silcock retiring after five years in the town.

Ms Silcock moved the business from Settle to its current location on Tower Street. The site was previously occupied by a business that sold lighting.

Now Harrogate Borough Council has approved a planning application from landlord James Hopkins to form one larger home that includes both the shop and the upstairs property.

The first-floor kitchen will become a bedroom and the ground floor will be altered to create an open plan kitchen with a lounge to the front.

Ms Silcock told the Stray Ferret in February that although she had a loyal customer base, a reduction in footfall in Harrogate had made the shop less financially viable.

She said:

“People are too busy and ordering shopping online is so easy.”
