Mallorie Park, the home of Ripon City AFC, could become a new care home if plans submitted to Harrogate Borough Council are accepted.

Plans have been submitted to build a two-storey, 66-bed care home on Ripon City AFC's ground.

The club, which has played at Mallorie Park for more than 100 years, revealed last month it planned to relocate.

Leeds-based care company LNT Care Developments has now submitted plans to Harrogate Borough Council to transform the ground into a home specialising in general and dementia care, including 25 parking spaces.

LNT has developed over 200 care homes in the UK since 2005. A planning statement, prepared on behalf of the company to support the application, says:

"The proposed care home would provide a character and form of development that should positively
enhance the character of the site and surrounding area, whilst also offering an important local
community service.
The development would also have a positive impact within the area by improving employment
opportunities, not only during the construction phase but also in the longer term when the care home
becomes fully operational."

Neither LNT nor Ripon City AFC has disclosed how much the deal is worth.

The club said in a statement last month that funds from any sale would be used to develop a new facility, which would include floodlit 3G and grass pitches, seated stands as well as a multipurpose clubhouse.

The location of the new ground has yet to be revealed but the club has published a proposed layout of how it would look.
