Scarborough Bridge to Lendal Bridge We are improving the existing flood defences here to reduce the risk of flooding to 42 homes and 15 businesses within the Marygate community of York. What we’ve done so far: • Obtained planning permission from City of York Council to improve the flood embankment in Museum Gardens • Worked closely with York Museum Trust, City of York Council and Historic England to come up with a design that not only acts as a viable flood defence, but also fits in with this much used and well-loved public space • Agreed a design that minimises the impact on the Hospitium and protects the true service tree, which is very rare and was a key concern for local people.

Plans for York flood storage area approved by planning chiefs
Ryedale District Council and City of York Council have both given their approval for plans for the flood storage area in York to go ahead.

Plans to create a flood storage area on the River Foss north of Strensall have now been given the green light by two local authority planning committees.
Work is expected to start next spring on the new flood storage area to better protect 490 vulnerable homes between Strensall and The Groves area of York from flooding.
The scheme, which falls within the boundary of two councils, has been approved by Ryedale District Council’s planners this week – and was given the go ahead by City of York Council last month (November).
