Peaks Parkway land for sale

In the Grimsby Telegraph dated June 26 there was an advertisement for 433 acres of land between Peaks Parkway and Humberston Road.  It stated that it has a Local Plan allocation for 1,500 houses, which is news to me.  I thought the plan only included a relatively small area to the west of Humberston Road.

I know a lot of posters here don't bother with the Telegraph.  You can get more information from the Brown & Co website.  I am intrigued that it says "In addition to the allocated residential land, there is significant potential for further development in the future on other parts of the property".

I don't suppose there are many people in Grimsby who have four million pounds to buy Weelsby Hall Farm.  Perhaps the non-chairman would be interested?

It won't happen if yellow crested brown bellied hammer head rayed t!t winged newts are in residence

That’s a shame. Weelsby Woods will be hemmed in. Nice way to walk out to the country currently.

I would not object to houses on Peaks Parkway if they paid for a new stadium at Freeman Street.

I would.  There's more than enough brown belt land in Grimsby and the surrounding areas to avoid building on land like this.  There's simply no need for it.  Peaks Parkway runs through green land on either side and sadly it's getting eaten up by housing developments.

This isn't a NIMBY style post.  I'm well aware that there will be a need for extra houses in the area but the amount of space in the central areas that are derelict or nearly derelict is far too great, in my opinion, to consider building on green land.  

The stadium in Freeman Street has to be one that's about overall community benefit.  Eating up green land a few miles down the road to pay for it doesn't work for me, it totally negates any benefit.  

I know it's difficult to sell new houses in areas that aren't perhaps as desirable as others but the future need for housing and the stadium should both be seen as an opportunity to breathe new life into areas, not to dig up some old farm land and put up loads of identikit houses.

The problem is, that a lot of the brownfield sites (sites with existing or previous building on) are heavily contaminated making planning difficult, + demolition costs of complete site repurposing are pretty high...

Got to be done sooner or later or do we just migrate towns around the country, hoping that the old bits will eventually fall down and the land become cleansed of contamination naturally over the centuries? Either the state does it at taxpayer expense (like happened on the Greenwich Peninsula in the 90s) or the developer does it at their own expense.

It's about time that the council/s started taking action about sites (and buildings) being left unkempt and having detrimental affects on areas surrounding them. Half the time I wonder if it's because they can't be ar5ed or if it's because they can't see it or simply don't care

Am sure that colleges are crying out for apprentices to practice their talents somewhere, so why not with regenerating deprived areas or getting 'community service' offenders into said area

It’d be a good idea if the government gave them the power and resources to enforce that.

Definitely!  

Let's face it, there's plenty of wasteful use of tax payers money that could be redirected to clearing brownfield areas.  

Once we use the greenfield areas, that's it.  They're gone.  You only have to look at satellite images above the Grimsby area to see the creep towards the southern areas of the county towards Holton-Le-Clay, Tetney and beyond...  How long before Louth and Grimsby join up?
