The scheme, being brought forward with development partner ECF \u2013 a joint venture between Homes England and Legal & General \u2013 will transform brownfield land opposite the Old Town into a mixed-use neighbourhood over the next 15 years.<\/p>\n
A hybrid planning application has been submitted for East Bank Urban Village.<\/p>\n The detailed application for phase one will deliver 115 affordable homes including 37 townhouses and 78 flats across two buildings, alongside key infrastructure works to unlock the wider masterplan.<\/p>\n Outline plans set out the wider vision for around 850 homes, with later phases dominated by build-to-rent alongside affordable housing, new public realm and leisure uses.<\/p>\n The site \u2013 once central to Hull\u2019s maritime economy \u2013 has been largely redundant for decades and is currently dominated by surface car parking and vacant plots.<\/p>\n Plans aim to reconnect the area back into the city fabric with new streets, public squares and a riverside promenade, alongside walking and cycling routes linking into the Fruit Market and surrounding neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n The project has secured nearly \u00a310m of Levelling Up Partnership funding to support enabling works and infrastructure, helping de-risk early delivery.<\/p>\n Raife Gale, senior development manager, said: \u201cOur plan is to deliver a sustainable new neighbourhood where people want to live, work and spend time \u2013 and key to this is creating quality homes, attractive public spaces and new leisure and business opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n The scheme will play a central role in Hull\u2019s wider target to deliver 2,500 homes in the city centre and is positioned as a catalyst for further investment under the city\u2019s regeneration strategy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"-\"](\"https:\/\/www.constructionenquirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/East-Bank-Hull-1-Credit-CJCT-Studios-and-Virtual-Resolution.jpg\")
