Homes scheme gets second knock-back
east Hull: Detailed plans for a contro- versial housing development have been unanimously rejected by city councillors.
Outline permission to build on part of the former Reckitts recreation ground in Chamberlain Road was approved by a government inspector last year, after an appeal by Barratt Homes.
-
space issue: Cllr Sean Chaytor.
The scheme had initially been refused by the city council's planning committee after strong opposition from local residents.
Now councillors have voted against detailed plans to build 112 homes at the site as well as four new sports pitches to be used for amateur rugby league.

The vote came after concerns were raised over a proposed emergency access route into the development, the layout of the new housing and the amount of car parking being made available for the new sports facilities. Committee chairman Councillor Sean Chaytor said: "It seems to me we have a situation where the developer is trying to get a quart into a pint pot."
Barratt spokesman Matthew Watts said the scheme would provide "much- needed" new homes.

“How long can this council continue to waste taxpayers money with their delaying tactics? How long can they deny us much needed new housing and sports facilities? A unanimous decision, it says it all, not one person has the guts to stand up & say 'Yes'. Meanwhile we live with vandals and drug users targetting the area because of the unused land, do these councillors even consider that? Reckitts couldn't afford the upkeep, thats why they sold it & obviously the present owner can't either. Time these councillors got real and lets get houses on there and some sports fields once again, they are just wasting time & money. OURS.”
