Latest Hull and East Riding planning decisions and applications
- An office on Spring Bank in Hull could be turned into a house in multiple occupation (HMO) if the plans are given the go-ahead. The development will see the office at 325 Spring Bank West, close to the city centre of Hull, becoming a six-bedroom HMO. The increasing number of HMOs in Hull was subject to fierce debate in a full council meeting in the Guildhall earlier this month.
- The owner of a property close to Beverley Road in Hull has applied for a certificate for lawful use to operate as a HMO. The application is for 12 Ash Grove, close to the Lidl on Beverley Road, and will see the building’s owners gaining certification to operate the property as a seven-bedroom HMO.
- The construction of 161 houses on land bounded by Salthouse Road, Middlesex Close, Bellfield Avenue and Bluebell Fields has moved a step closer after further planning documents were submitted to Hull City Council. The new plans include revision to the development’s brickwork, biodiversity enhancement and a change to heat pump locations in the development. If planners are happy with the revised plans then the development will move forwards.
- A new all-day cafe bar could be coming to Beverley, if ambitious plans for the town’s former NatWest bank are given the green light. Plans have been submitted to transform the historic building into the Sabado Lounge which could become a hub for community events alongside all-day drinks and dining. The plans would retain the historic character of the building on the busy Saturday Market.
- A photography studio is going to become a home, after East Riding Council gave a planning application the green light. The conversion will see the Art And Soul Communications building on Station Road, Brough, become a dwelling. A conservation officer submitted guidance stating that although the development will be in the Brough Conservation Area ‘the proposed change of use will not harm the balance of building uses’ and recommended it to go-ahead.
- East Riding Council has approved the construction of a lake at Brantingham Hall. The go-ahead was given despite significant prehistoric and Romano-British activity on the site. Comments from planners suggest both Iron Age and Romano-British activity on the ancient site, with cropmarks and settlements referenced in plans submitted to the council. As part of granting planning permission, the council have reduced the planned size of the proposed lake to ensure the Victorian approach to the hall is not spoilt. In addition, no major work will be done until a scheme of archaeological trial-trenching is carried out to see if any interesting items of historic merit are buried underground.
