Summary
The proposal includes a new floor and staircase inside York City Church. A wheelchair lift, a new rear entrance and one new window are also proposed.
The Citadel stands in York's protected historic centre. Ten protected old buildings are within about a 1-minute walk, and the York Minster precinct is also about a 1-minute walk away.
The work could change both the historic building and how it is seen. Only 74 nearby property fronts have a direct view of the site, while 603 are screened by other buildings.
