Castle Gateway
A planning application has been submitted to transform the Castle Car Park and Eye of York into a world-class public space. This would include more planting and green spaces, informal play, improved pedestrian facilities, retained blue badge parking, and connections to the river with a riverside path and boardwalk to the rear of the Castle Museum. This would link to the proposed new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the River Foss.

Coney Street Riverside
Coney Street Riverside is taking shape, transforming this iconic part of York into a welcoming and vibrant city centre destination for visitors and the local community to enjoy. This will enhance York's unique character by creatively linking the riverside with the high street in ways which surprise, delight and entertain.
Coney Street Riverside will be a place full of character, intrigue and charm, connecting an established retail and hospitality destination with the riverside and, in doing so, opening up opportunities for all.
York Minster Precinct: Centre for Excellence
In Spring 2023, as part of its Neighbourhood plan, York Minster will begin constructing its new Centre of Excellence for Heritage Craft Skills & Estate Management; a multi-million pound investment which will position the Minster as leading the charge for the preservation of ancient craft skills on the international stage, facilitating knowledge-sharing and exchange programmes with leading cathedrals and institutions worldwide.
The development will also include the construction of a new modernised refectory, numerous public realms works and the creation of a new public park.
