York Historic Environment Record

The significance of Clifton View lies in the principal rooms facing the street now known as Clifton. This consists of three rooms on the ground, first and attic floors and the Georgian staircase projecting behind. These remain unaffected by the proposals. Historic maps show that rear areas have always been service areas, sculleries, coal storage, toilets and the like which have changed frequently over time. Listed building consent was granted in 2009 for works including a rear extension with a mono-pitched roof which would have formed a studio. The extension has not been built although other minor works were carried out. The current proposal is a scaled down version of the 2009 consent with an extension on the same footprint but single storey and with a “green” flat roof laid to grasses. This would form a garden room with glazed doors along the rear of the property with a toilet and shower room.
