York Historic Environment Record

This Planning and Heritage Statement has been prepared by Caroe Architecture Ltd (CAL) for a Change of Use and Planning Consent Application for the sustainable efurbishment and conversion of No. 1 Deangate into office space for York Minster staff. The proposals are designed to create a sustainable future for the building, to make it DDA accessible, and to improve the material and aesthetic quality of the building and its context. The purpose of this document is to provide an overview historical understanding of No. 1 Deangate and its surrounding context. This is a means to derive the significance of the development site and conservation area, so heritage impacts can be fully understood and mitigated. This document will also ascertain the relevant policy context, both local and national, and assess the extent to which the present proposals are in compliance with them, including via a consideration of design, public realm, sustainability, access and flood risk.
