But more noticeable is the number of comments supporting the application, there are far more of these at present. So readers of this page who feel they want to object and haven’t done so already might want to register their views.

I’d always be in favour of working with what’s there, and am surprised that the proposed development on this site doesn’t at least keep the Peckitt St chapel frontage. In contrast, in the plans for Groves Chapel (http://yorkstories.co.uk/groves-chapel-plans-21oct/) the developers scaled back their plans in order to protect and preserve part of the interior. But then Groves Chapel is listed, and this building isn’t. Therefore I guess we can’t blame the developers for thinking it has no value?

I think the whole building is interesting, has an interesting story, with the fire station being driven through it as a form of reuse earlier. (As discussed previously on http://yorkstories.co.uk/former-trinity-chapel-fire-station/)

And on that note, I hope we’ve all had a listen to the old fire station bell … http://yorkstories.co.uk/york-fire-station-bell-t-morris-1938/
