O’Neill’s Associates have secured consent for re-design of an apartment block on the site of former Terry’s chocolate factory, close to the iconic Clock Tower.
Despite facing objections from the National Trust, York Civic Trust and Historic England, O’Neill Associates are pleased to have successfully argued the case for the new design at Planning Committee resulting in a majority vote in favour from counsellors.
The 11hectare factory site features a number of iconic buildings including the factory building (at 180,000sq ft), the Clock Tower and the ‘Liquor Store’, all of which now have Grade II Listed status. Issues for the site included protection of the character of the Conservation Area, and the setting and views of the Listed Buildings.
O’Neill Associates continue to play an important role in supporting implementation of the scheme.
