Clifford Street
Officials are recommending that 14 Clifford Street be converted for restaurant use into flats. There will also be two new offices provided in the building.
The plan has generally been welcomed although a nearby nightclub has expressed concerns that the flat dwellers may be subject to a noise nuisance.
Elsewhere officials are recommending that the owners of 25 and 26 Barbican Road be allowed to convert the houses into a block containing 12 apartments.

The costs cover buildings security and rates.
They do not include utility charges.such as electricity and water.
The North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service say that they hope to complete the sale of the building before April 2016 but this is dependent on the new owner getting planning permission for the new development announced this morning.
The sale price for the site has not yet been revealed.
The Fire Service moved into a new station near the Barbican in April 2014.
The figures were obtained using Freedom of Information legislation
Proposed floorplan
Proposed development
The Council has received a planning application to redevelop the Fire Station site on Clifford Street (click here) . The site had been on the market for 18 months with a sale “by informal tender” being sought.
The proposed redevelopment would see 9 houses, 5 flats and a restaurant built on the site.
The announcement brings into focus the future of the adjacent former police station buildings on Lower Friargate.
These were empty for many months when the Safer York Partnership moved out but have now been taken over by the Magistrates Court.
However the site is obviously under-occupied and has become an eyesore in what is a sensitive conservation area
