Plans have been submitted to convert a Harrogate guesthouse into nine holiday lets.

The proposal has been submitted to Harrogate Borough Council by Leeds-based Maison Parfaite, which runs Shannon Court on Dragon Avenue.

It would see nine holiday apartments created, which include living and kitchen areas and bedrooms with en-suit bathrooms.

The developer, which also runs holiday properties in Pateley Bridge, said in documents submitted to the council that “the holiday industry is changing” and that visitors preferred “self-contained accommodation”.

It said:

“Although the proposal is for a change of use to a residential use, the proposal would be to provide nine holiday letting rooms which would enhance the tourist offer to the local economy. 
“The holiday industry is changing with visitors requiring an improved quality of accommodation and enjoy self contained accommodation rather than the communal dining facilities provided in the existing guest house.”


Harrogate Borough Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
