Muse Places has launched a community conversation with Hull City Council for the East Bank Urban Village regeneration project.
The scheme, delivered by ECF and Hull City Council, will bring around 850 new homes to brownfield land east of the River Hull, opposite the old town.
Plans include new homes, public spaces, ground floor commercial uses, and an interconnected network of streets, plazas and green spaces to create a pedestrian and family friendly environment.
The project is supported by £9.875m of Levelling Up Partnership funding and will be delivered over 15 years.
Muse Places and the council collected feedback from residents, businesses and stakeholders to help shape the design, landscaping, play areas and restoration of heritage assets.
The public gave their views through an online questionnaire, which closed on 8th October.
In-person sessions were held at Victoria Dock Village Hall on 9th September, Little Learners Day Nursery on 9th September.
They will hold an additional session at Trinity Market Hall on 2nd October.
The development supports the council’s Local Plan to provide 2,500 new homes in Hull city centre.
Raife Gale, senior development manager at ECF, said: “This is a project that will have a hugely positive impact on Hull, delivering much needed new homes in the heart of the city centre while breathing new life into a site with a rich heritage and maritime past.
“We want to ensure the local community are involved in shaping what our plans look like, so we are looking forward to working closely with them as we progress the first stage of this important new development.”
Councillor Paul Drake-Davis, Portfolio Holder for Economic Renewal, Housing and Organisational Development at Hull City Council, said: “East Bank Urban Village is one of Hull’s largest ever regeneration projects and will act as a catalyst for further urban renewal and help to increase investor confidence in the city with all the economic benefits that will arise.
“The development is the future of Hull’s city centre living and so it’s important that our residents and other stakeholders and interested parties share their thoughts to help shape it.”
