Builder runs into further opposition over homes
Earlier this year the Planning Inspectorate allowed an appeal by Barratt Homes to build on the former Reckitts playing fields in Chamberlain Road, Hull, ending a 10-year fight by local residents. The firm has sent out hundreds of leaflets setting out detailed plans, which still have to go to Hull Council’s planning committee for approval.
Sub-postmaster Serji Singh, who led local opposition, said: “A lot of people say there’s no identity and no links to the site’s history, no hedges, it is all crammed in.”
Councillor Adam Williams said: “If you look at the plan, they have obviously tried to squeeze in as many as they can.”
