The proposed redevelopment of Bootham Park Hospital has been cancelled due to cost concerns.

The proposed redevelopment of Bootham Park Hospital has been cancelled due to cost concerns.

The plans which were approved just 3 weeks ago have been dropped due the spiralling costs of the project as Central MP Rachel Maskell believes this is caused by developers worried about a potential recession.

The project initially proposed converting the old mental hospital into a retirement home with a sports pitch expansion to the neighbouring Bootham School.

The news of the cancellation also comes just weeks after another development on Rougier street was dropped for a similar reason.
