Plans to remove the ATM from a closed Barclays branch in Richmond have been given the green light.
The ATM, located at 55 Market Place, will be removed as part of a series of changes to the historic Grade II listed building.
Barclays closed its branch in Richmond town centre in January.
North Yorkshire Council approved the changes on February 24, which aim to return the building to its original state before it became a Barclays branch.
This includes removing all external signs, two branch nameplates, a night safe faceplate, an external CCTV camera, and non-illuminated individual heritage signs on the front.
Internal counters and all furniture will also be removed.
The changes will not alter any of the building's original architectural features, which include mid-18th century red brickwork with rusticated quoins, Welsh slate roofing, and a more modern projecting bank front in ashlar.
Approved works must begin within three years from this date.
The development must strictly follow the approved application documents, including a heritage statement, design and access statement, and photographs of the site before closure.
Before starting external work, detailed specifications and methods for stone repairs must be submitted and approved by the local planning authority.
Stone infill samples and repointing panels must be available for on-site inspection, and all external works must be carried out in accordance with these approved details.
The removal of the banking features is expected to have no adverse impact on the visual character of the street.
