The White Swan Inn in York Road in Deighton looks set to be converted into a house with planned alterations to the porch and a garage to be added.
The Press reported last year that the pub, on the A19 between York and Selby, closed suddenly for the second time in 18 months after pub chain Marstons sold up to undisclosed owners, who were believed to be re-opening the pub in due course.
Now a change of use application has been submitted to City of York Council by Mark Spence and a consultation is open on the plans until Thursday, September 4.
The pub first closed last January but re-opened in March 2023, under general manager David Woodhead.
However, on May 21 2024, the pub posted on Facebook: “Dave, Ann and all the staff would like to thank all the customers that have supported us over the past 14 months here at The White Swan Deighton.
“Unfortunately the time has come, we will be closing the doors and cease trading this Sunday at 6pm. All of us have really appreciated the support we have received. For the last time.”
However, last March Marston’s announced the sale of 61 pubs nationally, including five in Yorkshire, which included the White Swan.
