Public meeting to be held to discuss Brough South development
A meeting to hear the latest developments on one of the biggest planning applications Brough has ever seen will take place this Friday, January 18.
The proposed £100 million Brough South development, a 123-acre site south of the main Hull to Doncaster railway line in the town, was given outline planning approval, subject to highways issues, by East Riding of Yorkshire Council back in April this year.

The meeting organised by the Brough South Liaison Committee will take place at the Brough Community Centre, within the Petuaria Centre at 7.30pm for any interested residents to attend, to hear the latest developments.
The proposals of the scheme, by a consortium led by the Horncastle Group, includes up to 750 new homes, a primary school, a major new food store, new health facilities, a business park, a hotel and pub and a petrol station.

Part of the site includes a section of existing runway at the adjacent BAE Systems factory.
The scheme also features plans for a new road bridge over the railway line, the completion of the Brough relief road and junction improvement to the A63.
The scheme has caused controversy amongst many councillors and residents who believe the town is too small to cope with the development.

“I don't see why they're bothering with a public meeting judging by the fact that there were an overwhelming number of objections to the application on the council website and yet they still saw fit to approve it shows that they obviously don't care what the residents (the people who's taxes pay their wages) feel about the plans!!!”

“750 new homes in an area with rapidly dwindling employment prospects and an overloaded transport system... What could possibly go wrong?”

“I hope that the inevitable protestors get their facts correct.
I recall one lady in Brough saying it was ridiculous that 23,456 houses were going to be built when the Bovis estate (sorry, development) began to be built at the Welton end.
When I said that the billboard read 2,3,4,5,6 bedroomed houses for sale she still insisted that development was bad for the area.”
