Plans have been submitted to build a new zero carbon hotel in York.
The proposed new hotel, with 99 bedrooms, would be sited on the Mill House car park site, off North Street in the centre of York. It would be the first hotel in the country to generate net zero carbon emissions and would also showcase sustainable features such as solar PV and a biodiverse green wall.
No onsite food or beverage facilities are planned at the new hotel although there is no shortage of hospitality options in the immediate vicinity. The new hotel would have no car parking spaces either, further enhancing its carbon reduction emission credentials. It would also reflect York's aspiration to become the UK's first car-free city centre.
A planning application for the proposed new hotel has been submitted.
