Summary
The proposal is for internal refurbishment at Herdsmans Cottage. It includes small layout changes, damp-proofing on the ground floor and opening a fireplace. The cottage is in the historic Tadcaster Road area. Six protected old buildings stand within about a 1-minute walk, including Newington Hotel directly adjacent. Only one property frontage has a direct view of the site within a couple of minutes' walk. Most nearby buildings block street-level views, but the work could still affect historic parts inside the cottage.

Comments can be sent to the council using reference 26/01322/LBC. Explain any concerns about historic features, damp treatment or the fireplace, since the council can consider those points.
