Hull City Council unveils plan to build 1,500 new homes on greenfield land in East Riding

“London2Hull - of course we want out of Hull, it's full of deadbeats we all want a surburban or village life - out the way of bloody people. That's why you've some up from down south, London is overpopulated and the idiots who keep promoting east yorkshire as the place to be are mad, all we'll get is more bloody people and cars.

Everyone over 16 wants their own car and quite right, but as I said earlier if we had less people we'd all live the lifestyle we all crave for, but oh no - keep letting them all in (and help themselves to our NHS) keep paying for dozens of other people's children ..

The road to hell is paved with good intentions the human race is hell bent on destroying this beautiful planet and the natural kingdoms - we are all part of it but we couldn't care less about anything but money.”

“They won't give up their policies of raping the land will they? Is this our contribution to the impending mass immigration that's planned for our country? Beverley will no doubt become part of a 'greater Hull' in the not so distant future and everything in it's path will be swallowed up, just like what happened to London.”

“The land on both sides of Priory road is very rare and precoius habitat for orchids amongst other things and quite a large part of it has being under one of the stewardship schemes from Natural England (formally English Nature) for the last 15 odd years. The meadows are something you would have to otherwise travel up to the wolds or yorkshire moors to see, are we not allowed anything special or rare around Hull?”

“"how long before you have to drive miles in a car to get to any open, natural spaces, I live in Hull.

The original settlement of Hull was a tiny area by todays comparison. If as you say you live in Hull your house is now on what was a green field.
would you along with others give up your house to return the area to green fields?”

“I'll wager that the schemes go ahead but on a smaller scale on the ER land. Reason being it doesnt effect Parnabys ward so he won't lose a vote but gain pictures of him posing with builders for the ER economy and hearty meals with the developer. I wonder how many of the builders will be English?”

“london2 agree with you about lack of development in the city centre,that's why its dying,can also people stop saying don't build as its a flood plain,the whole of this area is a flood plain,priory rd feilds are prime development land,hull does lack quality housing there's plenty of cheap housing available all over the city,for sale signs everywhere,builders would be all over this land,if it becomes available,as its a good location.
time for hull city to council to extend the borders,as at the moment this land is used for a few grazing horses and the gippo,s when they turn up unexpected for a few weeks free rent.”

“Donna_Kebab1 - come on, open your eyes! Let's start at the Bond/Albion Street car park. That site including what I'm told is the old Co-Op building could easily accommodate a few hundred apartments.

A couple of hundred or so more on the empty land behind St. Stephens. All the empty land on the banks of the River Hull. Fruit Market area, plenty of empty space off Witham.

In the 24 months since I've moved from London what I've observed is that the people of Hull and East Yorkshire don't aspire to live in the city centre. They want surburban or village life.”

“With all the empty shops/departments stores in the centre of town I'm surprise no one is redeveloping those into living quarters before building on greenfield land.”

“jaycee46
We have lived on Priory Road Hull, for over forty years ,and although all the fields behind our houses and the land nearer Cottingham always was waterlogged in a wet season we never had any problems.until,they built houses behind our house and behind the Church .The water table beneath our houses rose there is,water under our floor boards now.Remember the floods in 2007 the water had nowhere to go except into peoples homes, disaster and misery for hundreds of people,it is a flood plain and should be left alone.
Also what about the increased Traffic in the area its horrendous now”

“Build build build, might as well get used to the fact there will be no green field left soon, we are vastly overpopulated and no politician has the guts to say stop to immigration (because that''s who all the houses in the UK are for) and stop subsidising people breeding like flies - three kids max....

Knock down slums and old houses and rebuild on brownfield sites I have no objection at all to that in fact it is essential - creates jobs and gets rid of old property.

My thinking tends to be 10 years ahead of everyone else so while you think I'm crazy now wait until you realise the quality of life for everyone is getting worse due to overcrowding and too much traffic.....

We could all live like Lords if there were only 10 million people on this small island, more space, less hassle, less bloody people in your way... bliss...”
