New lease of life for York brewery as Northminster submits development plans

York-based developer Northminster Ltd has acquired a 19th century malting house, Clementhorpe Maltings, owned by City of York Council, to turn into town houses.

The firm has submitted refurbishment plans to the city’s planners this month (Jan 15).

Northminster Ltd, which has developed 20-acre Northminster Business Park on the outskirts of the city and has also applied its expertise to several York city centre residential schemes, is submitting the plans after having agreed with City of York Council to purchase and redevelop the property.

Northminster Ltd development surveyor, Alastair Gill, says: “We’re very pleased to be moving forward with our proposals for this fascinating property.

“We have an excellent working relationship with City of York Council and believe we have come up with a highly-innovative scheme which preserves the history of the building while creating unique and attractive homes which respect the structure and surrounding neighbourhood in this popular area of York.”
