Hull City Council is creating a new Local Plan for Hull – and needs the input of the city’s residents.
The updated plan will guide how the city grows and changes over the next 15 years, impacting homes, jobs, health and climate action.
The council wishes to have an active and open conversation about these key issues with those who live, work, visit or study in Hull.
The current Local Plan was adopted in 2017. Since then, major events, new laws and local priorities, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the UK’s departure from the EU, updated planning policies and devolution, have shaped the way the city has grown and continues to grow.
A public engagement exercise has been launched online and the council’s project team will be in attendance at Hull University’s Tea and Chat Big Brew Campaign (Fair Trade) in the Student Union on Friday 14 March from 10am to 3pm.
This will be followed by attending the Forum’s Social Prescribing Day Celebration on the Upper Deck of Princes Quay on Wednesday 19 March from 10am to 3pm.
These sessions will enable the public to discuss the proposals with the project team and also to fill in the survey.
Those who complete the survey, either in-person or online, will automatically be entered in a draw to win one of four Love2Shop vouchers worth up to £200.
Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, portfolio holder for regeneration and housing at the council, said: “The Local Plan will directly affect the lives of everyone in Hull for many years to come.
“The council is keen to have active and open conversations about key issues for our city, such as climate change, housing provision and local jobs.
“It is therefore vital that those who live, work, visit or study in Hull take part in our public engagement exercise to ensure these issues are addressed most appropriately.”
Further in-person engagement events will be confirmed for venues across the city in due course.
Feedback can be provided on the new Local Plan proposals until Monday 28 April.
