A planning application proposing 418 new East Hull homes has been submitted to Hull City Council.
The application, launched by Beal Homes, proposes a major housing development on a large rectangular section of land west of East Carr Road, in East Hull. As well as being bordered by East Carr Road to the east, the site is bordered by the Suttoncross Drain to the west, and the houses off Howdale Road to the south.
This proposal is expected to be joined by a further development on the land to the north of the application site. Together, these two developments would form a large bus route loop. Until this second phase is actioned, and the bus loop is completed, the initial 418 homes proposal would be limited to 415 homes in order to accommodate a temporary bus turning area on the site.
There would be two access points to the housing development, one off East Carr Road itself and another from Danby Close.

Planning documents state that the design of the development has been intentionally structured to “create a distinct transition in density between its northern and southern sections.” The south section of the development has a higher housing density than the northern section. This is achieved by the south of the development having smaller two and three bedroom terraced and semi-detached houses, whilst the northern section would have larger three and four bedroom family houses on more spacious plots.
Of the initial 415 proposed houses, 10% would be affordable housing plots. The housing breakdown would be as follows:
There would be 374 open market houses:
- 72 two-bedroom houses
- 212 three-bedroom houses
- 90 four-bedroom houses
There would also be 41 affordable houses:
- 28 two-bedroom houses
- 13 three-bedroom houses
Each two and three-bedroom property would have two car parking spaces whilst each four-bedroom property would have three car parking spaces.
According to planning documents, approximately a fifth of the site is covered by a flood plain. As a result no houses are proposed for this area of the site, which lies at the north of the piece of land.
