Plans also include a 64,000-hen egg-laying site
Here’s a run down of some of the planning applications that have recently been submitted to East Riding Of Yorkshire Council. The applications include plans to turn the first floor of a former Goole pub into a seven-bed House in Multiple Occupation (HMO).
The applications also include plans for an egg laying facility in Owstwick. The site would house 64,000 laying hens.
HMO in former Goole pub
The council has received plans to turn the first floor of the former The Marshlands pub in Goole. The pub, which is now vacant according to documents submitted to the council, is located on Swinefleet Road, near the River Ouse.
Whilst the first floor of the building would become a HMO, the plans see the ground floor retaining its commercial space status. Plans say the proposal “aligns with local planning policies aimed at revitalising underused properties”.
As well as retaining the ground floor’s original use, the plan to only have the first floor as residential space “eliminates any flood risk to residential units”. A new double-door entrance would be provided to access the HMO from the ground floor.
Proposed free range egg-laying site
Plans have also been submitted to the council for a free range egg-laying unit at Kenby Farm in Owstwick. The proposed site would be capable of housing up to 64,000 birds.
Internally, the site would be split into four zones, each with a capacity of 16,000 laying hens. Plans explain: “The proposed development site is located approximately 90 metres south of the main farmstead and lies within a 31 hectare arable field. The total land take for the development is 0.93 hectares, with the remainder of the field remaining in agricultural use as outdoor pasture for the birds.”
New stables in East Riding village
Finally, the council has received an application for the erection of a building consisting of 6 stables and a sand school for private use. The site in question is located off Wilfholme Road, in the village of Kilnwick.
Plans explain the building would be used for the storage of agricultural and equestrian equipment as well as being a stables. It is stated in submitted documents that “the design reflects the style and character of traditional agricultural buildings in the area, respecting the intrinsic character of the countryside and rural setting”.
The proposed sand school would measure 20m by 40m and would be enclosed by a 1.2m high timber fence. Documents state the sand school is “considered appropriate in both scale and appearance for its rural setting”.
