A derelict former mental health referral unit in Clifton could be turned into a home under new plans.
An application to change the use class of the building, in The Avenue, to a flexible residential dwelling has been lodged with City of York Council.
Plans stated the council currently owns the building but is seeking to sell it and it has stood derelict for a substantial period of time.
They added further applications for works to refurbish and renovate the building would follow.
The application to change the use of the building showed three living rooms, a kitchen and dining room on the converted ground floor.
Six bedrooms would be on the first floor.
Permission for the works themselves would come as part of a separate application to the submitted plans which deal with the use class of the building.
Plans stated the building was in a highly-sustainable location near several shops and services a short distance away by foot or public transport.
The application stated: “This will provide a good contribution to the overall housing mix to the benefit of local and wider housing objectives, in particular to provide affordable and well-built accommodation for all.”
