Planning permission, to demolish the Carlton Tavern and use the site for an elderly persons home, was refused last night.
In effect the Planning Committee reversed a decision taken a couple of months ago when the Chair had to use his casting vote to determine the issue.
This prompted threats of a Judicial review of the process.
The applicants now have a right of appeal against the latest decision, so it is likely to be several months before the fate of the building is finally clear.
Take a break from Christmas shopping and indulge in this festive treat.
At 4pm we will gather for mince pies and mulled wine, followed by carols from the ADAM Festival Community Choir at around 4.30pm, to get us all in the Christmas spirit!
The Stained Glass Centre St Martin-cum-Gregory Church St Martin’s Lane York, YO1 6LN
Delight your family this Christmas with a screening of two enchanting films accompanied by live orchestra.
Following on from their highly acclaimed sell-out tour last December, Carrot Productions are bringing their Snowman magic to York Minster on 16 December with two performances (2.30pm for the matinee and 7pm for the evening show).
Hear some of the UK’s top musicians perform Howard Blake’s beautiful soundtrack – including the evocative ‘Walking in the Air’ sung by a local child soloist – in perfect synchronicity with the film shown on a giant screen. Not a dry eye in the house!
This extra special performance includes a light-hearted Guide to the Orchestra, including an angelic harp, Frozen on the flutes, and a very naughty drummer!
You’ll also experience the wonder of that most Christmassy of seasonal pieces, The Nutcracker, brought to life by Tom Scott’s mesmerising animated film. Along with a toe-tapping Christmas overture – and a visit from a VERY special conductor! – this festive treat has something for all ages. Cherished by children and adults alike, the concert is fast becoming an annual custom, providing the perfect winter outing for all the family.
