New flats could be destined for Cathedral Yard.
There are plans to create seven apartments using part of the first floor and the entire second and third floors of 23 Cathedral Yard which was once home to Wippell's, the ecclesiastical suppliers.
The building was Grade II listed in 2000.
It was built for Wippell's in the 1880s on the site of a late medieval building which had burned down.
Wippell's used the building for almost 100 years and when the company moved out in 1980 the upper floors were converted for office use.
More recently it has been marketed for commercial use but this proved unsuccessful.
If given planning approval for residential use there would be three one-bed apartments and four two-beds.
No parking spaces are to be provided.
