Apartments will also be created at this part of the development, which will have access to stepped rooftop gardens.The rear of the development will feature retail units, as well as housing sensitive and complimentary to the existing Georgian architecture on Albion Street. This will include family homes and apartments, some of which will have private gardens.At the centre of the site, a new urban woodland will reconnect communities with city centre green space, allowing nature back into our urban areas through rewilding.The plans will go to Hull City Council’s planning committee for final approval in early 2022.Construction of the site is scheduled to begin in 2023.
