Delivering Housing Growth in Hull (2)

Hull’s housing-led renewal programme is very well established and incorporates a range of private, community sector and registered provider (RP) partners, which ensures that it is best placed to deliver transformation of the housing market in Hull. Following the success of previous phases of the programme, a large pipeline of sites has been identified to unlock delivery of both new build housing and schemes to refurbish housing post-2018.

Aligning with national priorities the greatest opportunity of the programme is through new build sites where up to 1,000 homes for open market sale and affordable rent will be un-locked for development through investment in flood mitigation, site remediation and tackling adverse ground conditions. The empty homes programme will continue its momentum and will address a further 100 empty properties. The 100 homes represents a significant number of the more challenging and persistent empties in the city.  The private sector renewal programme will deliver frontage improvements and energy efficiency improvements in prioritised areas.  This would deliver  approx.700 direct jobs, 1,000 indirect jobs and more than 100 apprenticeships over the lifetime of the programme.
