A historic York building looks set for a revamp, according to plans submitted to the city council.

York CVS has applied to City of York Council concerning 17 Priory Street, York.

The organisation seeks internal alterations including installation of stud partition walls, upgrading existing mechanical and electrical services and replacement of floor coverings.

The plans also include the removal and replacement of existing internal doors, refurbishment of existing kitchen and bathroom facilities and a door opening to be created adjacent to the top of the ramped area afterwards.

The planning application says the property is a Grade II listed building located within the Central Historic Core Conservation Area of York.

The 1905-erected building offers a range of offices, a Nursery and meeting rooms. Some of the facilities and equipment are described as poor, with the kitchen and toilets ‘aged and worn.’

The application added: “The internal alterations are to remain subtle and respectful of the internal heritage of the building. It should be noted all internal works proposed could be removed and returned to the original state, should this be required in the future. The proposed alterations will not impact any of the external aspects of the building.”
