Nimbuscare - an 11 GP practice co-operative - has applied to City of York Council seeking permission to maintain its Community Care Centre in Tadcaster Road for two more years.
The health provider wants to continue to use prefabricated buildings - put up in 2020 for Covid-19 vaccination clinics - as a temporary care centre, and add two smaller prefab units.
The brownfield site has been earmarked for residential development.
However, a City of York Council planning committee has been recommended by council officers to approve Nimbuscare's application for planning permission on the site.
The two additional units proposed for the site would be a base for a mobile screening unit within an HGV trailer used for scans at other local sites.
A two-year extension for the site was granted in December 2022.
In documents set to go in front of members of the planning committee on February 26, council officers said the fact that the application is on a time limited basis and the structures rest on a former car park surface “would not therefore impede the site being brought forward as a housing site when the time arises".
The site of the former Askham Bar Park and Ride is a brownfield site and proposed location for housing within council plans, the documents say.
