However it is important that the AAP for tion Newington and St Andrews is well linked with the regeneration, activities currently being developed in Hull City Centre by the Urban Development Corporation Hull City Build. 40 Hull John Holmes Whole Whole area Link with I can confirm that we have no representations to make to Forward AAP Hull City question the plan's soundness and would indeed confirm Centre Hull Forward's support to the plan. The document itself is regenera well presented and easy to follow. The plan is clear in how it tion would support and complement city centre regeneration, for example in providing complementary residential retail and leisure offers to those being pursued in the city centre, and a locally available pool of city centre workers and users. Employment linkages within the area are also clearer and we particularly welcome the strengthening of this aspect through designation of employment areas and mixed use sites and policies to support Hessle Road as a 'district centre' and Anlaby Road as a a 'large local centre'. We also note the longer term aspiration for easy access to employment opportunities along the Humber waterfront, which will of course connect to the future Hull Forward agenda. 92 Hull Civic Ken Baker Whole Whole area On behalf of Hull Civic Society we would like to congratulate Society AAP Hull City Council on producing an ambitious and comprehensive Area Action Plan for Newington and St Andrews which will be of great benefit to the city as a whole by improving its image and attracting further investment and employment. We are particularly impressed with the vision of a high quality environment which we believe is essential for attracting people back into the area. We consider that Page 1 of 60 this element is so important that even if resources become more limited it would be better to hold to this commitment and complete part of the proposals than to economise on the environmental element. 112 Yorkshire Ruth Hardingh Whole Whole area General The Assembly's opinion is that the Area Action Plan for and am AAP conformit Newington and St Andrew's DPD is in general conformity Humber y with with the Yorkshire and Humber Plan the Regional Spatial Assembly RSS Strategy to 2026 (May 2008). 113 Yorkshire Ruth Hardingh Whole Whole area General Need for General Conformity. The RSS has an important and am AAP conformit role in providing a strategic policy context for local policies.

Eliminate where possible all tenfoots snikets and alleys. [This] would greatly reduce the potential gathering places for acts of anti social behaviour. 130 The Rose Freeman Whole Whole area Commun We have no particular issues with the publication draft and Yes Theatres AAP ity find it to be SOUND. We are pleased to see there will be a Trust facilities new sport and leisure community facility even though it is unlikely to contain a performance space. Sustainable neighbourhoods should include social facilities to ensure the population have the capacity to reap the health and social benefits which accrue from participation in regular cultural activities. We would recommend that any new community facility should be multi-purpose in nature providing indoor space for leisure arts community and entertainment events. Such facilities should be centrally located with good access for pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers. 131 Hull Civic Ken Baker Whole Whole area Commun We would like to suggest the provision of a designated Society AAP ity "village hall" for each section of the area. In addition to facilities providing meeting facilities for a variety of groups the running of a 'village hail' provides opportunities for volunteers to be involved in a management committee and provides a community focus which gives local residents a sense of ownership. The ball could be an existing hall a purpose-built new building or a purpose-built extension to a school or sports complex but the essential feature is that it should be managed by a local committee independent of any church school or sports club. The 'village hall' would complement other social centres such as churches schools pubs and sports clubs just as it does in many villages. 55 English Ian Smith Whole Whole area Historic Although the density of designated historic assets is not Heritage AAP assets particularly high in this part of Hull nevertheless, there are a Yorkshire number of important buildings spread across the Newington Region and St Andrew's area which could play an important role in Page 2 of 60 helping to give the individual neighbourhoods a distinctive community identity. Many of these buildings have been identified by the Council as being locally important and worthy of retention. In areas undergoing significant redevelopment, the retention and enhancement of these buildings would assist in reinforcing the community, links with their past. Many of these buildings (such as the historic churches and schools) are already landmark buildings within their community and offer the potential to form a focus for future regeneration schemes. In others parts of the area groups of historic buildings might be used to form a distinctive heart around which the new communities might develop. Detailed proposals should seek to ensure that key elements of the environment are used positively in the regeneration of these areas to help reinforce the local distinctiveness of each of the neighbourhoods. In terms of designated sites, the proposals within the Publication Draft seem unlikely to seriously threaten the area's historic assets. Indeed a number of the elements which have been suggested are likely to enhance the character of its Conservation Areas and potentially the setting of its Listed Buildings which we warmly welcome. 56 English Ian Smith Whole Whole area Historic A key part of the transformation of this part of the City Yes Heritage AAP assets/co involves the demolition and redevelopment of large areas of Yorkshire urt court terrace housing. As a form of urban residential Region terrace development, it is believed that this particular housing type housing is found in only one other Pathfinder Area elsewhere in England. Whilst large areas of court housing are proposed for redevelopment we are pleased to note that several of the courts are proposed for improvement. As the AAP points out this type of accommodation may be particularly well suited to particular sectors of the community. 197 English Ian Smith Proposal Whole area Historic The southern boundary of the Hessle Road Conservation Amend accordingly. Heritage s Map assets/C Area as depicted on the Proposals Map is incorrect.

We believe these issues are integral to the sustainable development of the area. There is growing recognition of the benefit of green infrastructure to the health and physical and mental wellbeing of urban communities especially access poor communities and vulnerable groups.

  • 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.

  • L DSHFC Hull Football Club Programmes 1916-2016
    Hull History Centre: Hull Football Club Programmes L DSHFC Hull Football Club Programmes 1916-2016 Extent: [50 boxes, 22 items] Historical Background: Hull Football Club was formed late in 1865, founded by amongst others, Beevor Lambert, E.W.Wade, E.Waltham and W.H.H. Hutchinson and the five Scott brothers, sons of Rev. John Scott of St Mary’s. Although it is not clear what rules governed early matches it would appear that they were played as soccer games with 11 players each side, and played in accordance with home club rules which led to differences in the rules at each game. At the annual meeting in the George Hotel, Land of Green Ginger, on 20th October 1870, the decision was taken to formally adopt the rugby rules and in 1871, after a nomadic existence, they moved on to the Rifle Barracks field in Anlaby Road, Hull, and became the first Yorkshire club to gain membership of the new Rugby Football Union. In 1895 the club moved to the Athletic Grounds in The Boulevard. August 1895 saw the start of Rugby League after the top Northern Rugby Union clubs broke away to form the “Northern Union”. It would be known as the Northern Union until 1922. Hull achieved success over the years. During the latter half of the 1950s they made three successive Championship Final appearances, 1956-58, winning in 1956 and 1958. 1953-55 saw them reach three successive Yorkshire Cup Finals and in 1959 they made their first Wembley appearance. These all resulted in defeats and was followed by another Championship Cup defeat at Wembley in 1960.

A Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment should establish realistic assumptions about the availability, suitability and likely economic viability of land to meet the identified need for housing over the plan period. 1.3 This SHLAA 2016 has been produced in accordance with the NPPF and National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). 1.4 National Planning Practice Guidance identifies that an assessment should: • identify sites and broad locations with potential for development; • assess their development potential; and • assess their suitability for development and the likelihood of development coming forward (the availability and deliverability/achievability).

  • Periodic Electoral Review for Kingston Upon Hull
    LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND - PERIODIC ELECTORAL REVIEW FOR KINGSTON UPON HULL- PROPOSALS FOR A RE-WARDING SCHEME INTRODUCTION The Majority Group on Hull City Council welcomes the opportunity to redraw the City’s ward boundaries. We believe this will achieve a greater electoral ratio than is currently the case, and also allows us to better reflect natural communities and reunite some areas that were artificially divided during previous exercises. Perhaps most importantly the document allows us to reflect the changes in the electorate that has occurred since the last re-warding in 1999. Although the last Hull City Council submission predicted the growth of Kingswood, in the north of the city, the Boundary Commission was unconvinced and did not agree an additional seat in this location. As this growth was realised, our new proposals reflect this population growth which will continue apace until 2022. This submission has taken advantage of the opportunity to reduced disparities between the minimum and maximum number of electors represented by each Councillor. Although some disparity will remain due to the requirements to reflect natural communities, we have reduced this, with the majority of our proposed wards within a tolerance of 5%; (the mean being 4.8%).We believe this is quite an achievement given the natural geographical constraints that occur with a City divided by a river, and with its southern flank being an estuary, with large industrial areas nearby. Although in 1999, we were able to submit a combined plan for the City, this time around the majority opposition party were proposing the retention of some two member seats, and the minority opposition party proposing a combination of one, two and three seat wards, so we had to differ in our proposals.

  • Hull Labour Group Feels That the Boundary Commission Have Been Too Quick to Dismiss the Case for a Cross-River Ward at Kingswood and Beverley
    LABOUR GROUP SUBMISSION IN RESPONSE TO THE DRAFT WARD BOUNDARY PROPOSALS FOR HULL INTRODUCTION In our response to the Draft Submission from the Boundary Commission we have put a detailed further submission. We have felt this necessary as we believe we were misinformed at the briefing meeting in June 2017 attended by Labour and Conservative Councillors, which led to us putting in a uniformed “three-member” ward proposition for the entire City, as the guidance stated that this was the preferred option. Given that the Commission’s draft proposals have accepted a plan based upon two and three member Wards, we have now put in two revised proposals that form part of our principal objection to the draft proposals. These include:- 1) A challenge to the draft proposal and a restatement of the argument for a cross-river Ward. 2) If this strong argument still does not carry resonance, we then offer a strongly argued alternative to the most contentious and deeply unpopular elements of the draft proposals for West of the River. Our evidenced alternative stems from the Boundary Commission acceptance of a settlement of two and three member Wards, in its draft and builds upon this. We trust in the assurances that we have been given that the Commission WILL meaningfully consider this substantial proposal, and afford it the full and detailed consideration that we feel it deserves. We do remain deeply concerned that the current proposals without amendment will change the political balance of the City without the casting of a single vote, with scant regard of the effect this has on long- standing established Hull communities.
