A proposal has been put forward to convert St Saviour’s Church Hall on Gladstone Road in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, into supported living accommodation for individuals with learning disabilities and autism.
The plan, submitted by Squirrel Wood Properties (SWP), includes transforming the church hall into 11 single-bedroom apartments, as well as staff facilities. The development would preserve much of the existing green space, which will be maintained as a communal garden for residents.
The local authority’s health and adult services department has expressed support for the project, with a final decision expected in the coming months. The building is recognised as a “non-designated heritage asset,” and the development will aim to preserve its key architectural features.
In addition to the living spaces, the proposal includes six parking spaces for residents and a designated area for bicycle storage. The application is currently open for public comments, with no set date for a final decision.
