A new access road would be established
Plans for further residential development in Keyingham have been submitted to East Riding Council. With the council having recently approved an application for 147 dwellings in the East Yorkshire village, plans have now emerged for further homes nearby.
The newly submitted application, which is for just five new homes, is effectively a reapplication of a previously approved proposal. Planning permission is sought for the homes to be built on a piece of land north of Ottringham Road, at the East End Nurseries site.
An application for five homes on the site was approved by the council in February 2020 however the plans never came to fruition. Newly submitted documents say the main reason for why the granted planning permission was not implemented, and the homes never being built, was due to the land temporarily being needed for horticultural purposes.
The plans state the five dwellings would consist of three 2-bed bungalows, a 3-bed house, and a 4-bed house. A new access road would be established off Ottringham Road which would split off into two private drives.
Each of the five dwellings would be provided with a garage and space for two vehicles and plans suggest the homes would be set back from the main road leaving a sizable amount of green space. The homes would also each have a rear garden.

Despite the application just being for the five homes, when including the land immediately north of the proposals, the site is capable of holding far more. Planning documents explain that the field as a whole has the capacity for 185 dwellings. With plans showing access road proposed for the 5 homes heading towards the rest of the field it perhaps leaves the door open for future development.
Keyingham is no stranger to residential developments. In recent years houses have popped on the opposite side of Ottringham Road at the Strawberry Fields site.
In addition to this, and perhaps more significantly, in 2024 East Riding Council approved the erection of 147 dwellings north of Ottringham Road, less than 300 metres down the road from the proposed five dwellings. The planning documents recently submitted to the council say that work on the 147 new homes has now commenced.
