PLANS for the massive York Central redevelopment of land behind the railway station will take another step forward at a local plan working group meeting later this month.

City of York Council says members will be asked to consider and provide comments on work to-date on the emerging development on Monday, November 30.

The group will give feedback ahead of an executive meeting on December 15 which will discuss the future of York’s largest brownfield site.

A number of residential and commercial development options have been identified for the site including up to either 1,000 units, 1,500 homes, 2,000 homes or 2,500 homes with varying amounts of commercial development.

Council leader Chris Steward said: “This is an important next step which will help us to lay the foundations for the upcoming executive meeting."

Deputy leader Keith Aspden said: “Residential and economic development of York Central is a key priority for the council. It is York’s largest brownfield site and we are working closely with partners such as Network Rail and the National Railway Museum to kick-start progress."

Further details of the developing project will be included in an upcoming executive paper.
