The Former British Sugar Factory/Manor School site is a 42 hectare site to the north west of York, approximately 1.4 miles from the city centre.

Former British Sugar community forum
A community forum was set up in October 2011, to include residents representing the local community and Ward councillors.
The forum has provided an opportunity for the development team to discuss emerging proposals before they are submitted to the council.
Further meetings will be arranged at relevant milestones which will have an ongoing active role in the development of the site.
See the former British Sugar community forum's terms of reference and notes of the meetings in November 2013, July 2014 and February 2015.
