A CHARITY'S offices in York could be turned into a church under plans before City Of York Council.

An application has been sent to city planners to change the use of the office space in Fawcett Street, Fishergate, into a church.

For the past two decades, the building has housed Macmillan Cancer Support.

In the application, John Reeves, of the Helmsley Group - acting agent for the church - records that the building, listed as Hamilton House, was vacant and there were no plans to make alterations to the building except for signage.

The premises is large - spread over five floors - and faces on to the inner ring road in the Fishergate gyratory.

It has a glazed, recessed entrance with a combination of open plan and partitioned office space.
