Plans to convert a Filey holiday let into a residential property have been approved by North Yorkshire Council.
The Beachdale Guesthouse at 2 Brooklands, Filey, is set to become a four-bed residential house following the approval of plans.
The three-storey terrace, which is in the town’s conservation area, was a guesthouse with a private living area for the owners and five ensuite bedrooms for visitors.
North Yorkshire Council’s tourism officer said the guesthouse had not been a member of Visit North Yorkshire “for a number of years” and as such, the organisation did not have any data on the level of bookings on which to base a decision.
The officer added that they did not currently have enough occupancy data “elsewhere within Filey to either support or object to the application on the basis of change of use”.
However, the officer considered that there is a “sufficient level of serviced accommodation within Filey to not warrant an objection”.
Brooklands, where the property is located, was constructed between 1890 and 1914, according to a planning report.
“The appearance of the terrace is reflective of that period, and the terraces were originally constructed as dwellings, although there is evidence that some of the units are now used as flats,” it notes.
No objections were made by the Highway Authority, which said that “there is not expected to be an increase in vehicle movements as a result of the development”.
Planning officers concluded that there are “a number of existing guesthouses in the area and the loss of the guesthouse subject to this application would not have a material impact on the demand for this type of application”.
The council added that it did not have “any data to counteract this argument”.
The application was approved by NYC, subject to conditions.
