Harrogate firm Angela Swift Developments is seeking planning permission to demolish Tate House on Wetherby Road and build a 90-bed care home for people with visual impairment, dementia and respite care in its place.
It described the proposed three-storey development as a “state-of-the-art” facility which would cost £15million and create up to 70 full and part-time jobs.
However, the plans have sparked complaints from neighbours who fear they could lose their privacy and be overlooked by the 12-metre high building.
