Plans have now been submitted to York City Council. David Spencer of DSP Architects of York and Jennifer Hubbard, town planning consultant, are advising the college.
If planning permission is granted, the college intends to begin by building the animal management centre, followed by a new equine centre with a polo field.
The final phase would be the new student accommodation, a teaching block and engineering workshop. The residential accommodation would enable numbers to increase from 300 to 600 students resident on site.
The college’s existing centre already houses animals such as meerkats, mongoose and possum and it is hoped in time to add others including zebra and tapirs to the list.
