Twickenham Area Action Plan York House and Grounds Including Gardens

Aims - to make optimum use of this wonderful public building and grounds, providing a range of appropriate uses, which would contribute towards making the York House area more of a destination, and enhance this end of the town. To allow this area to be reinforced as the “Civic and Cultural” quarter of the town.

Uses - Civic use retained and additional use of building to create a community/cultural hub with café/gallery/restaurant space, exhibition and performance space. Increased use of the former road outside the Civic Centre for occasional events and possibly one-off or regular markets. Environmental improvements to Champions’ Wharf Sculpture Park to include more welcoming entrance to York House Gardens, from here and elsewhere. All new building and uses must take account of the Listed status of York House and its RegisteredGarden, including taking account of the overall ambiance of the House and Gardens and the importance of the setting of York House.
