Ahead of a formal reserved matters planning application being submitted to City of York Council in November, the strategic development partners behind the York Central development will begin a community consultation on the next stage of the major regeneration project.
This phase of delivery at York Central will include a range of new homes, at least 20% of which will be affordable, office and retail space, a hotel and a brand-new western station entrance, as well as a public park and extensive public realm, and fits in within the parameters of the approved outline planning permission for the whole site granted in 2019.
As part of the consultation process McLaren Regeneration and Arlington Real Estate will be holding a drop-in event at the National Railway Museum on 6th October (2pm – 7pm). They will also be hosting all the consultation material on the York Central website from the same date, giving people the ability to submit their feedback online.
Tom Gilman, managing director of McLaren Regeneration, said: “Engaging with the local community has always been important to us and we would encourage as many people as possible to take part in this latest round of consultation to find out more about our plans for this first phase of delivery at York Central.
“This process follows previously well attended and encouraging drop-in sessions that we held earlier this year, as we make progress on delivering this brand-new city quarter for York.”
McLaren Regeneration and Arlington Real Estate are working in partnership with Homes England, Network Rail, City of York Council and the National Railway Museum to deliver York Central which has the potential to generate 6,500 jobs and grow York’s future economy by 20%, by adding £1.16bn GVA to the city.
