Plans for a new £25million hotel and apartments scheme close to York city centre are currently being finalised and are set to be lodged for planning approval later this month.

The 50,000 sq-ft development would include around 42,000 sq-ft for the hotel and about 7,900 sq-ft of apartments. It would be built on the site of an existing car park and a motorcycle accessory shop in Piccadilly.

The development plan includes a 146-bedroom hotel and also features a terrace and a riverside garden with views across the River Foss to the 13th century Clifford’s Tower.

The developer is Northminster and the project is designed by COG Architecture in Leeds.
