Firefighters at The Jubilee in Balfour Street last month. PLANNERS have rejected the latest bid to convert part of an abandoned York pub into flats - overruling their own planning officers in the process. A planning case officer had recommended that developer Tri-Core should be allowed to convert the upper floors of The Jubilee on Balfour Street into three flats. The proposals would have left the ground floor as a pub, with a function room on part of the first floor. But despite the recommendation, The Press understands that planners voted 10-1 last week to reject the scheme. Campaigners who want to turn the whole building into a community pub say they are over the moon at the decision.
