Consent secured to complete £210m residential scheme
Beal Homes has secured full planning permission to complete its largest-ever development – The Greenways, in Goole.
The planning approval from East Riding of Yorkshire Council is for 600 homes, giving a green light to continue delivering the £210m development, which will ultimately extend to 806 properties.
Construction of the remainder of the development will represent a further £156m investment. Beal has now sold more than 180 homes at The Greenways.
The Greenways is on a 73-acre site equivalent to almost 50 football pitches off Rawcliffe Road.
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 high-quality 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 600 homes that have now received full planning consent will comprise two, three and four-bedroom properties.
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 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.
“As the largest single development in our company’s history, securing full planning permission for the remainder of The Greenways marks another significant milestone in our delivery of this long-term scheme.”
The Greenways is playing a key role in the regeneration of Goole. Beal says its investment will secure the employment of almost 2,500 people in construction and related roles and in the local community.
