This report presents the findings of an
independent economic, environmental and social value analysis of
the York Prospectus, undertaken by Sewells Advisory, an independent
consultancy. If approved, this analysis will form a key part of the
Prospectus and support further, more detailed work to inform future

Consultation process
The council commissioned the economic,
environmental and social value analysis with information on each
project provided where possible from partners or officers,
providing an evidence base for analysis.
The analysis was conducted independently of the council and
partners and has been developed from a series of published
assumptions and a supporting evidence base.
Where any data and information gaps were identified, Sewells used
evidence-based assumptions drawn from comparable initiatives across
England.
Feedback from city partners and relevant policy officers specific
to particular projects was sought as part of the drafting
process.
Officers at City of York Council and representatives of partner
organisations as related to particular projects identified within
the prospectus.
Equality Impact Assessment Completed?: Yes
