THE former home of a York club is set to be demolished to make way for a block of student flats. The Bootham and Monk Ward Conservative Club in Clarence Street could be knocked down and a student accommodation block of 43 studio flats built in its place, under plans submitted to City of York Council. The club, which dates back more than a century, sold the site after members voted to merge with the Heworth Conservative Club. Developer Clarence Street York Ltd has applied for planning permission to build a two and three storey building on the site of the former club, close to York St John University.
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.
