Beal gets the go-ahead for hundreds of homes

Beal Homes has secured full planning permission for 600 homes that will complete a £210m residential development in East Yorkshire.East Riding of Yorkshire Council has granted approval for the properties at The Greenways in Goole, following the submission of a full planning application last year,Construction of the remainder of the scheme will represent a further £156m investment by Beal in Goole.Beal has now sold more than 180 homes at The Greenways, which will ultimately extend to 806 properties. Work is currently underway on a new show village at the development.The Greenways is located on a 73-acre site equivalent to almost 50 football pitches off Rawcliffe Road and is said to be the largest housing scheme in the town for decades.The development forms part of a wave of investment in Goole, including Siemens Mobility’s £200m-plus rail village and a worldwide distribution hub for FTSE 100 company Croda, which are creating hundreds of highly-skilled jobs in the town.Beal chief executive Richard Beal said: “We identified the rich potential of Goole many years ago now, as well as a pent-up demand for high-quality new homes in the town.”The strong sales we have achieved and the continuing high demand we are seeing at The Greenways has justified our confidence.”We’re now pleased to have secured full planning permission to continue our long-term investment and the critical contribution we’re making to Goole’s remarkable rejuvenation.”
