What happens next
Why we are carrying out a legal review
We have identified historical land rights. We are therefore working with legal advisers to carefully review the position.
How the process will work
We are taking a step-by-step approach to make sure we get this right:
- Legal review. We are assessing what impact those historical land rights may have in practice.
- Options review. We will consider what options are available.
- Decision-making. We will carefully review the findings before deciding on the best way forward but are committed to restoring the gardens to their former use.
- Sharing an update. Once this work is complete, we will provide a clear update on next steps and what this means for the community.
Keeping you informed
We are committed to being open and transparent throughout this process. We will share updates on this page, as well as through direct communications with residents and stakeholders, once we have clear information to provide.
Works on site
No further works will take place at Acacia Avenue.
Our commitment
Our longer-term commitment to delivering high-quality, genuinely affordable homes remains unchanged, although we are currently reviewing potential sites in New Earswick as part of this work.
