Case Studies
The masterplan comprised the Eye of York, St Georges Field, Piccadilly and portions of the Coppergate Centre. Uses include residential, retail, employment (live/work units, start-up space and street food), leisure (hotel, F&B), public space, car and coach parking.
BDP worked closely with a variety of stakeholders including Historic England, English Heritage and the Environment Agency (EA) to develop a vision which overcame significant constraints to development including transport, flood risk, the historic function of the area and deliverability of key sites.
The project was carried out in three stages, a baseline review of the area’s planning, heritage, environmental and socio-economic function, a masterplan framework and public engagement brief to establish a series of varying development options and a refined preferred masterplan that responded to public and stakeholder engagement.
The Castle Gateway Masterplan was approved by the Council’s Executive to provide a spatial framework for the area. BDP and the project team continue to work on the project to prepare and submit detailed planning applications for a number of work packages identified within the approved masterplan.
