York Central - Queen StMSCP

Network Rail is intending to appoint a single contractor for the detailed design & build of a new multi-storey car park (MSCP) at York Central. The project will replace surface level parking with 626 space MSCP with an additional 10 surface parking blue badge spaces adjacent to the north of the MSCP building as well as 32 EV charging points located on the top decks of the MSCP. The site is located in the city of York. It is the existing station surface level long-stay car park. The car park has been part designed as a component of the Station Frontage Improvement scheme. The car park was included in this scheme to ensure the planning application protected the existing level of parking capacity at the station. However, as the site lies in a Conservation Area the Development Control team required more detail on the proposal including elevation, height and massing detail. Therefore, more extensive work was done on the design than anticipated but it now has planning consent that has (1) protected the number of station spaces and (2) established principles of height, massing and scale in a sensitive location. The appointed contractor shall be responsible for the detailed design and construction of the MSCP and for all technical regulatory approvals prior to handover.
