Around 600 homes to be built in Goole as Beal Homes secures permission for its largest development

housebuilder’s largest development at The Greenways in Goole.

The planning approval from East Riding of Yorkshire Council has been granted for 600 homes, giving the green light for Beal to continue to deliver the £210m development, which will ultimately extend to 806 properties.

The construction of the remainder of the development will represent a further £156m investment by Beal in one of Yorkshire’s fastest-growing towns.

A spokesman said: “Beal has now sold more than 180 homes at The Greenways, with continuing strong demand from a wide range of househunters, including first-time buyers, professionals, families and downsizers.”

The development is the latest in a number of investments in Goole, including Siemens Mobility’s £200m-plus rail village and a worldwide distribution hub for FTSE 100 company Croda, which are creating hundreds of jobs in the town.

Beal Chief Executive Richard Beal said: “We identified the rich potential of Goole many years ago now, as well as a pent-up demand for new homes in the town.

“The strong sales we have achieved and the continuing high demand we are seeing at The Greenways has justified our confidence.

“We’re now pleased to have secured full planning permission to continue our long-term investment and the critical contribution we’re making to Goole’s remarkable rejuvenation.”

The approved plans also include a new public right of way to be created around the perimeter of The Greenways, as well as a cycle path running through the development. New public green spaces will also be created, with direct access to the West Park Goole providing a link to 32 acres of park complete with a playground, multi-use games area, BMX tracks, sports pitches and a bowling green.

Beal Land Director Chris Murphy said: “The Greenways has transformed the quality and variety of housing in Goole, providing luxury, contemporary homes for local residents as well as attracting new people to the town.”
