Residents raise concerns over major plan for 418 new homes

PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP LAND WEST OF EAST CARR ROAD

- By ANDREW SPENCE

THE East Carr Residents Association has raised concerns after plans for 418 new homes were submitted to Hull City Council.

Beal Homes have submitted plans to the council to build 418 new homes on the land west of East Carr Road. The proposal is expected to be joined in the future by a further development on the land to the north of the application site.

In recent days, the East Carr Residents Association has issued thousands of leaflets to local residents laying out their concerns, including that they believe traffic will increase in the area.

Beal Homes, however, say they are committed to working closely with planning officers. A spokesperson said the plans for this new development would contribute towards the council's required quota of news homes, as well as allowing younger people to get onto the housing ladder.

Plans show there would be two access points to the new development, one from East Carr Road itself and another from Danby Close.

The Residents Association fear that the new home will lead to traffic and pollution issues in the area, as Dandy Close is a smaller, quiet street.
