UPDATE on Proposed sports pitches and improved parking at St Peter’s School This project is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve our existing sports facilities and provide even better opportunity for pupils to participate in sports and reach their potential on state-of-the-art facilities. The new parking area will also help to ease current parking issues at drop-off and pick-up times. Following planning submission last year, we have worked closely with City of York Council and other statutory consultees and have now submitted a pack of information which is available on the Council’s planning portal. You can still submit or re-submit your views to the Council by emailing planning.comments@york.gov.uk and quoting 22/02288/ FUL alongside your views. You can also find the planning application on the Council’s planning portal here and searching 22/02288/FUL.
