PLANS have been revealed for 200 homes and the transformation of medical facilities in the Anlaby area. Residents will be given the chance to look at the proposals for 20 acres of land in Lowfield Road when Lovel Developments holds a public consultation.
The plans, which can be viewed at Anlaby Village Hall tomorrow, from 4pm to 7pm, include additional hospital facilities believed to be at the Spire Hospital, and a new NHS medical centre. Lovel Developments managing director Philip Lovel will be joined by architects and planning consultants involved in the scheme tomorrow.
Mr Lovel said: "Central Hull has enjoyed significant investment in local medical facilities in recent years, but this has not been matched in the villages to the west of the city. One of the reasons for this is a shortage of suitable sites and we know from our own discussions with medical practitioners in the area that they see this project as a vital opportunity to improve what they can offer."
The new NHS centre would occupy 7,000sq ft on two floors and would include parking and improved waiting and examination rooms and the capacity to accommodate a wider range of specialist practitioners. The additional hospital facilities would occupy 9,500sq ft on two floors and would accommodate medical departments and administrative staff.
The housing element of the development would see the construction of 200 new two, three and four-bedroom homes, including affordable dwellings, plus public open space and play areas.
Mr Lovel, who said the land proposed is allocated for development, said: "We are inviting people to come to our public consultation session and look at our proposals as we prepare to submit the planning application.
"There is a need for additional housing in the area and we have worked hard to come up with a scheme that provides that.
"The construction of a new medical centre will bring a considerable improvement to NHS facilities."
