More than 500 homes proposed for 57-acre siteHousebuilder Beal Homes has submitted plans for a £105m development on the south bank of the Humber.It has applied to construct hundreds of homes on a 57-acre site at Immingham. The proposed development will provide two, three and four-bedroom homes.East Yorkshire-based Beal has lodged a “reserved matters” planning application for 525 homes, with landscaping, areas of public open space and associated works, on land off Stallingborough Road.The site already has outline planning approval for 525 homes, so the new application is seeking consent for the detailed design and layout of the development.Beal chief executive, Richard Beal, said: “This application sets out our plans to bring hundreds of much-needed, high-quality new homes to Immingham.“It represents a major vote of confidence in the housing market in the town and the wider area. We see Immingham as a place with strong pent-up demand for new homes as well as potential for further growth, driven by major investment on the south bank of the Humber.“We propose to deliver this development over coming years, meaning we will be investing millions of pounds into the area year after year, creating new jobs in construction and supporting services.“The plans are for a wide range of properties, including starter homes that will enable local first-time buyers to take their first step onto the housing ladder.”Beal land director, Chris Murphy, said: “We’ve worked closely with planning officers at North East Lincolnshire Council and other key stakeholders to develop and refine these proposals.“The site offers a natural extension to existing housing in Immingham and will enhance the quality, availability and choice of homes in the town.”
