A narrow council vote sees York's plans for a new Roman-themed attraction approved.
Plans for a Roman Quarter development in York have been narrowly approved by councillors.
Initial plans had been rejected in 2021, however revised plans submitted in January were recommended for approval.The plans will see the demolition of Northern House, Rougier House and Society Bar. Councillors were told the proposed museum would be named Eboracum, the Roman name for York, and could eventually attract more than 800,000 visitors each year.Councillors questioned the viability of the development after an independent report said it would make a £28m loss.A major archaeological dig on the site will take place before building work commences and councillors questioned what would happen if little was found.
