Summary
The applicant seeks permission for work already carried out at Franklins Yard. Office space, a laundry room and a store have been changed into two homes.
The site is in York's protected historic centre and Flood Zone 3. The River Foss is directly adjacent, and ten protected old buildings stand close by.
Only one shop frontage, Blue, has a direct view of the site from the east. Surrounding buildings block views from the other directions.
