Bosses at the York-based Helmsley Group have spoken of their delight as the “once-in-a-lifetime” masterplan to open the area up to the riverside takes a step forward
- with work planned to start in summer 2025.
A City of York Council planning committee approved the final part of the scheme last night (Thursday, November 28) which will see numbers 3 to 7 Coney Street developed and a new snickelway created to the riverside.
It followed approval for the wider scheme being given the go ahead by a planning committee last month.
The plan that was approved last night will see the land that is currently used as bin storage behind the units developed.
It will also introduce seven new residential apartments into the currently unused upper floors of the units – including JD Sports, the former Lush site and Mango – which the council previously said was a “fantastic use of unused space”.
