An overflow staff car park with 340 spaces would run during November and December under plans from the shopping centre’s owners.
The plans stated they aimed to tackle the long queues of cars trying to leave York Designer Outlet when visitor and staff numbers swell ahead of Christmas.
But they follow the withdrawal of similar plans last year after council planning officers called for refusal of the scheme due concerns for the green belt and over traffic.
The plans would see a temporary car park set up on land south of the shopping centre and its Park and Ride, off St Nicholas Avenue near Fulford.
York Designer Outlet’s car park currently has room for up to 2,700 parking spaces, with up to 1,000 of those used by the Park and Ride.
