Plans for Leeds are approved despite concerns from Harrogate.
Plans to build a new conference centre in Leeds have been given the go-ahead, despite opposition from Harrogate.
Paula Lorimer, from Harrogate Convention Centre, said it would take business away from the North Yorkshire town and affect its tourism industry. Details of the Leeds venue, including its appearance, will be established at a later date but planning permission for the scheme in principle was given unanimously by a committee of Leeds councillors on Thursday.
Ms Lorimer had earlier told the meeting that she would have no issue with Leeds building a smaller conference venue.
