Plans lodged with City of York Council would see repairs carried out on the Grade II-listed 19th-century building housing Circuit nightclub.
Plans lodged with City of York Council propose extensive repairs to 12 Clifford Street, a Grade II-listed 19th-century building that houses Circuit nightclub. The application states the works are essential to address existing defects and help preserve the historic structure.
The repairs would address leaks affecting the first floor of the nightclub, its central roof and a pipe on the Cumberland Street side of the building. Works proposed include removing, refixing or replacing loose and cracked roof slates, removing moss and lichen from the roof, and clearing gutters and drains of debris and vegetation. Two lead pipes would be replaced and loose and missing mortar on the building's chimney would be repointed. Masonry would be cleaned using specialist methods.
According to the application, the building 'in its current state looks poorly-maintained'. The proposals prioritise retention and repair of existing fabric rather than wholesale replacement to ensure the historic and architectural significance of the listed building is preserved. The works are intended to extend the lifespan of the building and reduce the need for more extensive repairs in the future.
