John Fareham and John Abbott report that the planning application to build 61 houses on the former YPI front car park has now been rejected by Hull City Council’s Planning Committee.
The officers’ recommendation to Committee was for the plan to be approved. Nevertheless the arguments long advanced by local residents – too many people, loss of amenity, the prospect of parking problems – weighed more heavily with the Committee and the application was rejected unanimously, as I proposed and Labour’s Councillor Julia Conner seconded, slightly ahead of several others including Alan Clark who were attempting to do so. Obviously the applicants retain the right to appeal; if they choose to do so, we will of course let local residents nearby know and give details of how to appeal and who to appeal to.
