The scheme would see two new homes built behind the Lord Nelson pub in Nether Poppleton. A previous application was rejected in September 2020. The plans were refused because the properties would be too prominent and visible from outside the site, harming the Nether Poppleton conservation are and the setting of Grade II-listed Poppleton House, according to City of York Council. But the homes have been redesigned in the latest application. The first home would be a two-storey four bedroom house, with part of the building 1.5 storeys high. The second would be a single storey four bedroom house. A spokesperson for developer Act York Ltd says: The visual impact of the single storey building to surrounding neighbouring properties is negligible, barely rising above the height of the existing established boundary hedgerows.
