Argo Real Estate Ltd and Fusion Group have said they plan to deliver a vibrant mixed-use community at Foss Bank in York – and they’re asking for your views.
The regeneration of the soon to be vacant Sainsbury’s and GO Outdoors stores, as well as the existing car park is planned to start in 2025.
Julian Evans, Land and Planning director at Fusion Group said: “This is a unique opportunity to regenerate a key site in the city, deliver on York’s need for new accommodation, and create a thriving, high-quality sustainable neighbourhood with exemplar public green open spaces.
“We want feedback from the local community about our initial ideas and principles of the development before we move forward with a more detailed design. Please join us to help shape this future community for the city”.
In a leaflet delivered to local residents, they announced the launch of their consultation on Monday 24 June 2024 at Temple Hall, York St John University, 3pm – 7pm – and invited the community along to hear more and speak to the development team.

The initial proposals include communal and accessible green spaces and extensive planting, a new memorial gardens to recognise the site’s history, new homes for students, alongside, co-living, key worker, later living homes and local retail provision.
This public consultation will continue through the summer with further opportunities to comment following detailed design work at further events which will be organised later this year.
Following discussions with all parties, the leases for Sainsbury’s and GO Outdoors end in January 2025 and they will both be vacating the site. Discussions are taking place with City of York Council to redevelop the Foss Bank car park as part of the scheme.
