Local knowledge

How schemes in York get decided.

A historic, constrained centre

Narrow streets, tight parking and heavy footfall mean access and servicing need careful thought, especially for conversions and infill.

The ring road and radial routes

Junctions on the A1237 outer ring road and the main radial roads are where officers most often focus on capacity.

Park and ride, walking and cycling

York has a strong park and ride network and a high share of cycling. Good links to both strengthen any application in the city.
