Plan for 65 affordable city homes in Hull submitted

The scheme is located on land opposite the Freedom Centre, between Ryehill Grove and Wyton Grove, which is allocated for residential development in the Holderness Road Corridor Area Action Plan.

Zoe Cowell, Esh Construction business development manager, said: “We pride ourselves on maintaining successful working relationships with our clients and we are delighted to be working with Together Housing on a second land led development.

"An extensive amount of work has gone into developing this scheme to date and I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in getting to this point.”

Designed by Acanthus WSM Architects, the site will include 31 two-bedroom, 28 three-bedroom and six four-bedroom homes which will benefit from private rear gardens and parking facilities.

Accessibility and adaptability standards will be adopted for 16 homes, with features such as a step-free access, increased circulation space and potential for future adaptations including level access showers at ground floor in the three-bedroom homes.

Registered housing provider, Together Housing Group, will take ownership of the properties upon completion.

Chris Watson, Together Housing Group programme manager, said: “This is an exciting opportunity to offer new and current customers, housing right at the heart of Hull. Our vision is to create a vibrant community of affordable homes that will meet the local needs including the young and growing families.”.

“Over 20 per cent of the properties will be built with enhanced accessible features including ramp access and ground floor shower rooms.”
