AS FAR as I'm concerned, the more flats that can be built in York the better. Far better flats in the city than yet more out-of-town, green belt development.

Most other development I've seen in recent years seems to consist of adding new housing estates to villages on the fringe of York. This sort of development only encourages more car traffic and adds to the pressure for out of town superstores.
