Former Scarborough guesthouse to become supported living HMO

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 15:31 · Archive

A former Scarborough guesthouse could be converted into supported accommodation for up to 10 residents with 24-hour staffing.

The Thoresby, a former 11-bedroom guesthouse on North Marine Road in Scarborough's North Bay, could be converted into a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) operated by YMCA North Tyneside. The scheme would provide shared accommodation for up to 10 residents, with each resident having their own bedroom and bathroom while sharing communal kitchen and living facilities.

The facility would provide tenancy-related supported accommodation aimed at helping residents develop the skills and confidence needed for independent living. A manager and support workers would be based on site during the day, while a night concierge would remain awake in the building between 8pm and 8am to respond to emergencies, welfare concerns and incidents requiring immediate intervention.

According to the applicant, no external alterations to the property are proposed. The scheme would make use of the existing building layout and would not require extensions, additional parking or significant building works.
