Community conversation launches for East Bank Urban Village
08.09.25 3 min read
We’ve launched a community conversation alongside Hull City Council ahead of ambitious East Bank Urban Village project.
East Bank Urban Village which is being delivered by ECF (our partnership between Homes England and L&G) and Hull City Council is the sustainable, residential-led development which will deliver approximately 850 new homes on brownfield land east of the River Hull. Opposite the old town, the scheme will comprise high quality new homes and public spaces in the heart of the city, transforming the east bank of the River Hull into a vibrant and exciting contemporary urban village.
The regeneration is backed by £9.875m of Levelling Up Partnership funding and will be a long-term investment into the city, significantly contributing to meeting the council’s Local Plan aspiration for 2,500 new dwellings within Hull city centre. The new homes will be developed across 15 years alongside ground floor commercial uses and an interconnected network of streets, plazas and green spaces to promote a pedestrian and family friendly atmosphere.
Now, ECF and the council want to hear the views of residents, businesses and other stakeholders on the plans to help to shape the site’s design, landscaping and play areas as well as how best to restore its heritage assets.
The public can have their say until Wednesday 8 October with an online questionnaire available here.
Residents are welcome to look at the exciting plans and chat with the team at in-person sessions which will take place at the following locations and times:
– Victoria Dock Village Hall, Tuesday 9 September, 2:30-4:45pm
– Little Learners Day Nursery, Tuesday 9 September 6:30-8pm
– Trinity Market Hall, Thursday 2 October, 4-8pm
Raife Gale, Senior Development Manager at ECF, said:
Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, portfolio holder for economic renewal, housing and organisational development at the council, said:
“East Bank Urban Village is one of Hull’s largest ever regeneration projects and will act as a catalyst for further urban renewal and help to increase investor confidence in the city with all the economic benefits that will arise.
“The development is the future of Hull’s city centre living and so it’s important that our residents and other stakeholders and interested parties share their thoughts to help shape it.”
