THIS is how the proposed new 600-home development on part of York’s former Rowntree factory site will look.
Computer generated images of the scheme have gone on display at an exhibition being staged this afternoon and this evening by the company behind the plans, Newby.
They show the 600 houses and flats on the empty Cocoa West site next to the former Rowntree Almond and Cream buildings, which are set to be converted into an additional 258 flats. Nearby stands the modern Nestlé factory.
The land is already included in York’s draft Local Plan as a housing site, and Newby says its plans will bring “much needed new homes” for people in York in an accessible location within walking distance of the city centre, and close to the Sustrans cycle route.
The exhibition is being staged from 3pm until 8pm in the community cafe at Haxby Road Primary Academy.
