Go ahead given for more than 130 homes on brownfield sites

Hull City Council’s Cabinet has approved plans to continue with the development of new council homes at Dane Park, while also agreeing to build additional new homes on a site at nearby Isledane.

And the Cabinet has agreed to procure a delivery partner to enable more new council homes to be built in the coming years, in line with the council’s Housing Growth Plan.

Planning consents for 99 affordable homes at Dane Park and 34 at Isledane were given in 2021.

However, owing to a difficult economic operating environment, an increased budget for the 133 homes has been agreed.

The £28.5m investment from the council is intended to transform the area, replacing redundant brownfield sites with modern homes and public open space.

Councillor Jan Loft, portfolio holder for housing and homelessness, said: “Dane Park and Isledane are strategically important brownfield development sites.

“Both sites are fully designed with planning consent in place and will provide 133 new homes which are much needed in the area.

“The design itself seeks to reduce carbon emissions through a fabric first approach and looking to introduce other technology to lower carbon emissions whilst keeping energy bills down.

“Our next steps will be to procure a lead developer partner to enable a long-term approach to delivering affordable homes across the city.”
