23.8%
of homes are terraced houses
England average: 23%
Almost a quarter of homes are terraced, so a back door onto a yard is often the obvious place for a flap.
The walled city
York's centre has a very large number of listed buildings and is a conservation area. Altering original doors or walls of listed homes needs consent. Many terraces just outside the walls are also in conservation areas, where front doors are the most sensitive.
Terraces and student lets
Areas such as South Bank, Clifton and the Groves have Victorian terraces with back yards, ideal for a cat flap. Near the University of York and York St John, many homes are rented, so permission comes first.
