Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what involvement the York community will have in the selection of a developer for the York Central development.
York Central is being brought forward by Homes England and Network Rail as the major landowners, building on their Strategic Partnership with the City of York Council and the National Railway Museum
The Partnership has jointly secured outline planning permission and the landowners now aim to deliver the first phase of substantial infrastructure works, including new roads, pedestrian links, a bridge and a new public park. The first phase of housing delivery is expected to commence in 2023/2024 and a developer partner will be procured in due course. Further information will be shared with stakeholders by Spring 2022.
