The York Prospectus – Economic and Social Value Analysis Report

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 business cases and prioritisation.

As the analysis is in effect the final chapter of the York Prospectus, the Equality Impact Assessment remains the same.

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.
