Plan to turn water tower near York into a home

The site for this development is the Askham Richard water tower.

The site is approximately 8 miles from the city centre. The site lies within a remote part of Askham Richard with only one neighbour to the east.

The land is occupied by the existing water tower occupying an area of 40m2. Also located within the site is the Bilbrough York Local TV Mast

The proposal is for an additional 75.0m2 of floor space across 2 floors.

The proposed extension is a chalet style log cabin faced with wood cladding or Roundwood. The roof will be shingles or standing seam and the fenestration in a grey to blend in with the wood as it softens over the years. The water tower will have some of its original openings reinstated into windows for the bedrooms.
