A PURPOSE-BUILT centre to help York children deal with mental health and other issues has been approved on the edge of the city.
The planning committee of City York Council has approved the scheme on an 8-acre site off New Lane, Huntington, from the York charity, The Island.
Members agreed the benefits of the support it would give to thousands of young people, coupled with a range of environmental initiatives as part of the development meant it was a ‘very special case’ allowing it to be built on the Green Belt.
