In April 2004 Kraft Foods announced the closure of the Terry’s factory complex. The factory finished production and closed in September of the following year. The site has since been sold to York-based GHT Developments LLP (Grantside) and is currently vacant.

Terry’s Development Brief

We produced a Development Brief to coincide with the closure of the factory, to set out the main issues and planning policies relating to this important site and to provide guidance on how it should be redeveloped.

The Brief was subject to public consultation and has been approved by Members. The Brief will be used as guidance in negotiating with developers and progressing any relevant planning and listed building / conservation area consent applications on the site.

You can download a copy of the Development Brief fromthe right hand side of this page.

The Racecourse and Terry's Factory Conservation Area Character Appraisal

Part of the Terry's site is located within the Racecourse and Terry's Factory Conservation Area. A Character Appraisal has been produced in order to properly consider the character of the Conservation Area in any development proposals. You can download a copy of this document from the right hand side of this page.
