Issue - decisions

RESOLVED: (i)         That the public consultation on whether a Big Screen should be established in York take place as part of the LDF build process and that the Big Screen option be added to the ‘Issues and Options’ consultation on the City Centre Area Action Plan.

                        (ii)        That potential sites for a temporary screen be identified.

                        (iii)       That the preferred long-term location for any screen would be to integrate it within a new development such as Hungate, and that Officers be requested to appraise this option further as opportunities arise.

REASON:      To take advantage of the opportunity to showcase the culture and heritage of the City and provide an outlet for local higher education training, subject to testing the views of local residents and finding a suitable site which will not have a negative impact on the historic environment.
