A vacant commercial unit in Scarborough's Albemarle Chambers is set to be transformed into a public self-service and assisted laundrette following approval from North Yorkshire Council.
An empty shop in the centre of a North Yorkshire town is set to be turned into a laundrette after plans were approved by the council.
Albemarle Chambers in Scarborough’s town centre will be turned into a laundrette offering dry cleaning services after a plan by Unique Home Properties was given the green light.
The public self-service laundrette will allow residents to wash and dry their own laundry using coin- or card-operated machines, while assisted laundry services, where customers can drop off laundry to be washed, dried, ironed and professionally packaged for later collection, will also be available.
According to submitted plans, commercial and corporate laundry services will also be provided to service hotels, guesthouses, care homes and other corporate businesses.
The laundry will be dropped off at the premises and collected following processing or delivered via managed transport arrangements, the plans state.
Dry-cleaning services would operate as an ancillary component of the business.
The vacant property was recently converted to create three commercial units on the ground floor with 12 residential apartments on the upper floors.
The commercial unit 4 in Albemarle Crescent has been vacant for a long time, the applicant noted.
Located off Westborough, the area is characterised by a “strong mix of retail, service, food and drink and professional uses at ground floor level, with residential apartments and ancillary uses above,” a report states.
It adds that the site “benefits from excellent accessibility, being within walking distance of residential neighbourhoods, public transport routes and local amenities”.
The application was approved by North Yorkshire Council, subject to conditions, on Friday, May 22.
