Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 06:08 · Archive
City of York Council has approved refurbishment of a unit at York Station to make way for a new tenant, Café Local.
City of York Council planning officers have approved refurbishment of a unit at York Station currently housing the Coffee Room, between platforms seven and nine. The space will be rebranded as Café Local, with the aim of providing an attractive, comfortable and safe environment for travellers and staff. Plans were lodged in July.
The works will include new signs and branding bearing Café Local's logos and colour scheme, installed outside and inside the unit on Platform Seven. The interior will be fitted with new equipment, furniture and decorations. The scale of Café Local will be the same as the existing concession.
Council planning officers stated that no harm was identified in the proposals to the Grade II*-listed station building. The design has been carefully developed to ensure interventions are sympathetic and, where possible, reversible, without harming the building's significance. Work will comprise repainting of timber skirting, windows and door frames, with the existing store, preparation area and counter largely unchanged. The customer area will see replacement chairs and tables in a slightly altered layout.
