The planning for Heslington East began in earnest in 2002 with the arrival of Brian Cantor as Vice-Chancellor . It took years of master-planning, liaison with interest groups, negotiations with land-owners and local communities, an 8-hour city planning meeting and a Public Inquiry to achieve the purchase of land and complex planning permissions for a site equal to the size of the original Heslington West campus . ក្នុង 2009, the new Goodricke College opened as the first building on Heslington East . At the time of the 40th anniversary in 2003, we wrote about Heslington East: “ it will be everything that the designers of the original campus hoped for – integrated, landscaped and traffic-free, with a large expanse of water, and a very eager populace. ”
