Efforts are being made to save historic 20th-century military buildings when the 1,300-home Ripon Barracks scheme is developed.
It comes as councillors will meet on Tuesday to consider giving final approval to the Clotherholme development. Plans for the site also include a new primary school, sports pitches, retail, food and drink units and a 60-bed care home. Ripon Barracks consists of Deverell Barracks to the east, Claro Barracks to the west and Laver Banks to the south.
The report says since the plans were first approved, the trust has provided more information about the significance of Ripon Barracks, which “reinforces the role the site played in the country’s military history.” The council’s conservation officer has also been involved in discussions and said they would support keeping a selection of buildings and the bridges at Laver Banks if it’s feasible.
