PLANS for a new bar in York have been dropped.
An application from Cook & Holman Ltd to convert the former Grant Ashley Hair & Beauty Salon, in Poppleton Road, into The Carriageworks Bar has been withdrawn.
City of York Council planning officers said they would take no further action on the application.
The reason for a change of mind has not been made public.
Plans stated the bar would have served coffee along with beer and wine for consumption on and off the premises.
The venue would have been open from 8.30am to 4.30pm from Monday to Wednesday and until 11pm from Thursday to Saturday.
It would have closed on Sundays. No amplified music would have been played and there were no plans to put seats outside.
A noise impact assessment lodged as part of the application found there would have been no change to ambient noise levels as a result of the conversion.
The front of the building has stood vacant since Grant Ashley closed in April 2024.
Plans stated an extension built at the back of the building in 2012 would remain in use by another salon business.
