A new exercise field for dogs is being created in Ottringham, in East Yorkshire, too – despite a neighbour’s concern for sheep and lambing season

1. A new exercise field for dogs is coming to East Yorkshire. Planners at East Riding Council have given the go-ahead for the development on land west of Philgreen, on Keyingham Road in Ottringham. One neighbour objected, telling the council the field would be noisy and have a negative impact on local property prices: The complaint stated: “The paddock at the bottom of my property houses sheep and obviously sheep get distressed by dog presence and noise.” Car parking will be built as part of the plan along with fences and a shelter. The council has mandated a biodiversity scheme that includes bat boxes and the plan must use a warm light to minimise disruption to nearby wildlife.
2. Work to extend the Al-Salam Mosque, on Boulevard in Hull, could take a step forward, if changes to conditions to its plans are given the green light. Planning permission has been granted by Hull City Council to extend the mosque to the side and rear. As part of the plan landscaping works around the place of worship will be improved too. The new conditions will allow the work to go ahead with a different material cladding the outside of the mosque, and the council is being asked to consider a separate noise impact assessment. Residents can make a comment to support or object to the plan on the Hull City Council website.
3. A house on Philip Larkin Close, close to the University of Hull, could get formal permission to become a house in multiple occupation (HMO), if Hull City Council give it the go-ahead. Planning documents suggest the property has previously been rented out to students. Residents have until October 29 to comment on the plans.
4. Plans for a solar farm and battery storage facility in Cottingham could move forwards if East Riding Council agrees enough archaeological surveying has been done on the site. Albanwise Synergy Limited is developing a 49.9 MW solar farm and a stand-alone battery storage facility near the Creyke Beck Substation. Documents submitted to the council make clear archaeologists from York have already completed a series of trial trenches and nothing of major note has been found on the site. Residents have until October 28 to comment on the updated plans on the East Riding Council website.
5. An outdoor storage building is now a bar that will be used for events, after East Riding Council granted planning permission for change of use. The outdoor bar is at The Plough Inn, on Northside Road in Hollym. The Environmental Control team at the authority said: “Whilst I have concerns about the effects on nearby residential amenity brought about by noise emitted during outdoor music events staged at The Plough Inn, I do not consider that approval for this application will in itself result in harm to nearby residential amenity.” The retrospective change of use was given the green light on October 8.
6. A large eucalyptus tree in the Avenues, in Hull, could be chopped down after a planning application was lodged with Hull City Council. The tree is in the garden of a property on Westbourne Avenue, which is one of Hull’s conservation areas. Residents have until November 11 to make a comment to the planning department at the council about the proposed work.
7. There has been a large step forward in the planning process around the new Marriott Hotel in Hull. A planning committee meeting gave the go-ahead to revised plans for the new hotel, which would be the brand’s first hotel in East Yorkshire. The new proposal means the hotel will no longer have a rooftop bar, but it will offer an improved food and drink service on the ground floor.
