The community of Hull will be asked for their views on a new Local Plan for Hull, should cabinet approval be given to engage with the public.
The new Local Plan will set a new vision and policies for future development up to 2040.
The Local Plan directly affects the lives of everyone in Hull and the new Plan provides an opportunity for residents, businesses and other stakeholders to shape its content through a series of engagement events.
It will provide a strategy to tackle the climate emergency, meet housing needs, deliver employment and opportunities for all whilst supporting healthy lifestyles.
The launch features questions aimed to prompt discussion and responses from the community and will be used to shape a further, detailed phase of engagement on options for polices, allocations and designations.
It also features details on Hull’s new mandatory target to deliver 993 new homes each year, an increase of 373 new homes per year from the currently adopted Local Plan requirement.
Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, portfolio holder for housing and regeneration at the council, said: “The Local Plan will directly affect the lives of everyone in Hull for many years to come.
“This update would provide an opportunity for residents to help shape its content and how the city deals with significant issues such as meeting increased mandatory housing targets and employment opportunities.”
“The council is keen to have an active and open conversation about the key issues and priorities that should be addressed and the policies that need to be in place to provides a city that provides opportunities for all.
“The balance of addressing the climate emergency, building the right types of homes in the right places, support good health and creating opportunities for all is a challenge with the most densely populated authority in Yorkshire and we want to work with you all to maximise these opportunities.”
