A six-phase residential development is planned for the former British Sugar and Manor School sites on Boroughbridge Road, York, targeting 1,097 homes by 2037. Infrastructure work is scheduled to begin in 2027.
The site requires environmental remediation, addressing contamination from heavy metals, asbestos, ground gas, and other chemicals. Planning submissions to City of York Council detail drainage systems, landscaping, and road access improvements via Main Street and Plantation Drive.
The project incorporates strategic green areas, including a central park, community gathering space, sports fields, woodland trails, and wetlands. Developers intend to integrate residential construction with ecological and recreational infrastructure.
Rapleys represents British Sugar PLC, the site owner, in planning and coordination of the phased development.
