A SPORTS hall is set to be demolished in favour of four holiday lets in North Yorkshire.
As well as building the holiday apartments, the plans also include the conversion of existing buildings to create five further holiday lets, at Hunmanby Sport And Leisure Hall, Park Road, Hunmanby, Filey.
The application proposes the redevelopment of unused buildings at Hunmanby Golf and Leisure.

The proposal involves the conversion of an existing building to create five small holiday homes, the demolition of a large functional sports hall, and its replacement with four holiday homes.
The proposal will improve the setting of nearby listed buildings through the removal of the functional sports hall and will bring this brownfield site back into a productive use.
The holiday homes will support the local economy, local shops, and services in Hunmanby.
The buildings have been empty or underused for several years and closed since 2022.
The application site is within the Hunmanby Conservation Area and is near to listed buildings.

The functional sports hall is prominent on Hall Park Road.
The building would be replaced with four cottages designed in a traditional style and built with traditional materials.
The development proposed is the creation of nine small one and two bedroom holiday homes, following the demolition of the sports hall.
The proposal comprises four holiday homes with two bedrooms in a one and a half storey terrace along Hall Park Road. This terrace will replace the sports hall. The gym building will be converted into five single storey holiday homes with one bedroom each.
The holiday homes will use the existing entrance onto Hall Park Road. An existing car parking area will be used to provide parking for the holiday home, and for an existing cottage which is on the frontage of Hall Park Road.

Between the holiday homes will be pathways providing access to the rear doors and rear garden areas divided by hedges.
The existing home to the north of the sports hall will be retained and used as a holiday home. This building will be extended with porches and changes to the fenestration on the eastern elevation.
There will be internal changes to split it from the sports hall and to improve the internal layout.
