After refurbishment, close platform (5)
I believe the answer is:
socle
'platform' is the definition.
(architectural term)
'after refurbishment close' is the wordplay.
'after refurbishment' indicates an anagram.
'close' anagrammed gives 'SOCLE'.
(Another definition for socle that I've seen is " Plinth".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
