Hull Local Plan to 2030 Preferred Options October/November 2015 Consultation Statement Hull Local Plan to 2030 Preferred Options October/November 2015 Consultation Statement Introduction This document provides a summary of the Preferred Options consultation that Hull City Council undertook in 2015 as part of the process of preparing a new Local Plan. Background Hull City Council is preparing a new Local Plan that will help shape the city over the next 15 years. This will identify land for different types of use and set out policies that will be used to determine planning applications. Once adopted, the Local Plan will be used to guide development in the city up to 2032. Consultation on Issues and Options was carried out in 2014 and full details can be found in the Report on Consultation on that stage of the plan. Consultation on the Preferred Options is the second stage in the new Local Plan’s preparation. It sets out the draft planning policies and potential site allocations that the Council believes are appropriate. It also sets out the other potential options the Council considered and the reasons why they were not chosen. Preferred Options Consultation The Preferred Options consultation took place in October and November 2015 in accordance with Regulation 18 and the Council’s Statement of Community Involvement. As part of the consultation process, the following public events were held: • ‘Local Plan Forum’ on Wednesday 5 November • Ward Forums • Drop in sessions • Tuesday 20th October am: Hull History Centre • Thursday 22nd October pm: Hull History Centre • Thursday 22nd October evening: Hull Central Library To publicise the consultation and the events listed above, Hull City Council did the following: • Wrote directly to everyone on the Local Plan consultation database. • Public notices were printed in the Hull Daily Mail • Press releases were published, resulting in articles in the Hull Daily Mail and on the websites of local news organisations • The City Planning Manager was interviewed on BBC Radio Humberside Copies of relevant letters and articles can be found in Appendix A.

Supporting the document and maps is a sustainability appraisal and various evidence base documents, including a draft site selection methodology. You can also comment on these. Consultation starts on Monday 12 October (noon) and runs for 6 weeks until Monday 23 November 2015 (noon). The consultation documents are available to view at: www.hullcc.gov.uk/planning.

  • City Centre Briefing Paper
    Briefing Paper for City Centre Task and Finish Wards: St Panel Andrews and Docklands 10 September 2018 Early Evening / Night Time Economy in the City Centre – Briefing Paper 2 Briefing Paper of the Director of Regeneration 1. Purpose of the Paper and Summary This paper provides information on and about the early evening/ night time economy in the city centre. The growth in city centre activities resulting from recent Council-led investment provides scope to further improve and diversify the early evening/ night time economy across the whole of the city centre. Information is provided on the objectives for the City Centre Task and Finish Panel, as agreed by the Council, to assist member investigations into how the city centre can become more vibrant after 5pm. 2. Analysis of city centre connectivity 2.1 Local Transport Plan The Council’s Local Transport Plan (LTP) sets out the vision and aims for transport in Hull and also sets the transport priorities for the Local Plan. The LTP’s vision is “to provide and develop a safe and efficient transport system that contributes to the social, environmental and economic wellbeing of the residents, businesses and visitors to the city.” The LTP aims to have a city committed to a low carbon future, which has a transport network and mobility culture that positively contributes to a thriving economy and the health and wellbeing of its citizens, and where sustainable travel is the option of choice The continued dominance of the car, often at the expense of other transport modes, presents a major challenge to transport planning in Hull.

  • U DEW Archives of Ellerman's Wilson Line 1825-1974
    Hull History Centre: Archives of Ellerman’s Wilson Line U DEW Archives of Ellerman's Wilson Line 1825-1974 Historical Background Hull might be considered an unsuitable location for what at one time was the largest privately owned shipping company in the world, with its awkward 27 mile approach up the Humber from the North Sea. Nevertheless, here was founded the firm of Thomas Wilson Sons & Co. (TWSC), later Ellerman's Wilson Line (EWL), but known for most of its life and now remembered as the Wilson Line. Furthermore, the activities of this single company helped to make Hull Britain's third largest port by the beginning of the twentieth century. In March 1904 TWSC owned some 99 vessels, most of which had been built by the local firm of Earle's Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Limited, which had itself been bought by TWSC shortly before. Thomas Wilson, the founder of the firm, was born in Hull on 12 February 1792. He went to sea as a boy but then became a clerk with Whitaker, Wilkinson & Co., importers of Swedish iron ore, later becoming their commercial traveller in the Sheffield area. On 1 September 1814 he married Susannah John West and they eventually had 15 children. The story goes that, with a growing family, he asked his employers for a rise, was refused, and in 1820 chose to set up in business for himself, relying on various partners for the provision of capital. The first of these in 1822 was John Beckington, a merchant and iron importer from Newcastle. The firm of Beckington, Wilson & Co.
