Plastic window frames dispute over flat conversion project in Holgate

Shepherd Social club Holgate

Plans to convert the old Shephard building group social club at 131 Holgate Road into 12 flats have become embroiled in a controversy over the design of the windows.

The developer is understood to want to install UPVC windows in the building.

This has been opposed by Council officials.

Given the need for additional accommodation in the City this seems to be a petty issue.

The developers have now appealed against the Council’s decision.

NB: 3 out of 11 appeals lodged against York Council planning decisions were upheld by independent inspectors during the last 3 months

Shepherd Social Club in Holgate to become flats

Shepherd Social Club Holgate Road

Shepherd Social Club Holgate Road

The former Shepherds Social Club on Holgate Road is set to be converted into 12 one bedroomed flats.

A planning application will be considered at a meeting taking place on 9th January

The proposal involves the erection of a new side extension. The building is currently vacant.

The Council report says, “A financial contribution of £4080 is required for the provision of amenity space and sports pitches. The money would be used to improve a local site such as West Bank Park or Holgate allotments and to improve a sports facility within the West Zone of the Sport and Active Leisure Strategy”.

Access to an 8 vehicle car park is obtained from Hamilton Drive.

No objections have been received to the proposal.

If approved, the 12 additional accommodation units will further reduce the pressure to build on green field land in the City.
