What’s to come
After an extensive consultation with Historic England, City of York Council and local stakeholders, proposals by The PJ Livesey Group were approved for the sensitive redevelopment of the site that balanced preservation with progress.
The Retreat is currently being reimagined as a unique residential community, comprising of approximately 120 homes, delivered through a combination of conversions and carefully designed newly built homes.
Access to previously closed green spaces will be carefully managed, ensuring the preservation of the site’s tranquillity and ecological sensitivity, while offering meaningful enjoyment for residents and select community engagement.
