New Harrogate planning committee to meet for first time
A new planning committee for Harrogate is set to meet for the first time next week.
Councillors on Harrogate and Knaresborough Area Constituency Planning Committee will hold their first meeting, which will see decisions made on two proposals.
The committee was formed after the abolition of Harrogate Borough Council more than two weeks ago.
On Tuesday, April 25, it will meet for the first time under North Yorkshire Council at Harrogate Civic Centre, the former headquarters of HBC on St Luke's Avenue.
As part of the meeting, councillors will consider two applications.
The first, which has been submitted by Abacus Properties Ltd, proposes the demolition of a pallet store at Jubilee Court in Copgrove in order to relocate the store.
Meanwhile, a further application from Abacus plans to form a car park and landscaping scheme at the same site on Wath Lane.

Both proposals are recommended for approval by council officers.
The meeting will be chaired by Liberal Democrat Cllr Pat Marsh, who was elected chair of the committee last month.
Following her election, she said:
The Harrogate committee will make decisions on proposals for 500 homes or less in the Harrogate and Knaresborough constituency area.
A second committee called the strategic planning committee, which will hold meetings in Northallerton, will deal with major proposals, such as plans for 500 or more homes and employment sites.
Plans for Ripon will be overseen by the Ripon and Skipton Area Constituency Committee.
