A VIDEO of how the York Central development could look when it is completed has been released ahead of the end of a planning consultation.

The footage takes viewers to some of the site's key locations - including the National Railway Museum’s South Yard, the central business district and into the new public square.

A further consultation launched on the planning application for the development closes on March 1.

The proposals would see up to 2,500 homes and 87,600 sqm of office space created at the site, with about 6,500 jobs.

A report prepared for the planning application says public artworks inspired by railway heritage will be installed throughout the development and there are also plans for play areas for children and teenagers.

The report says Cinder Street, part of the main route through the plot, would feature shops, cafes and offices.

And the design of the Cinder Yards area in the Station Quarter will "draw inspiration from York’s historic yards and streets/alleys, such as the Shambles and Shambles Market".

Tamsin Hart-Jones from York Central Partnership said: “It’s great to be able to bring the plans to life in a different way and show the kind of vision we have and are working towards.

“This new footage captures some of the core elements we have been focusing on, specifically creating and connecting communities and establishing vibrant neighbourhoods through a mix of uses and different types of public spaces, to bring this area of the city to life.”
