The scheme would have delivered 25 extra shops and restaurants, 670 parking spaces and would have created 500 more jobs in retail and construction.
When plans were first submitted in 2019, McArthurGlen Designer Outlets also sought to relocate the park and ride, aiming to reduce any extra congestion, and allay traffic concerns.
At the time, groups such as York BID and York Retail Forum also warned the extra shops and cafes could harm the city centre.
Last week, McArthurGlen Designer Outlets withdrew its application for the extension, but submitted plans to create extra parking spaces that would be used for several months over the peak Christmas period.
