A decision is expected from a City of York Council planning committee meeting on the Helmsley Group’s proposals to partially demolish 5
Coney Street to form a walkway to the riverside, create new floorspace at 3,5 and 7 Coney Street – which are Grade II listed buildings - for shops, restaurants with terraces to the rear, and seven residential apartments via the creation of additional storeys.
JD Sports occupies number 3 Coney Street, Lush Cosmetics recently vacated number 5 and moved further along Coney Street, and number 7 is occupied by fashion retailer Mango.
The walkway would run between 3 and 7, Coney Street and run south along the riverside to the City Screen cinema.
