Beal Homes wins planning permission for €245m resi project

The planning approval from East Riding of Yorkshire Council is for 600 homes, comprising of two, three, and four-bedroom properties.

The development will ultimately extend to 806 properties, requiring an additional investment of £156 mln (€182 mln) investment.

Beal has now sold more than 180 homes at The Greenways, with continuing strong demand from first-time buyers, professionals, families, and downsizers.

The Greenways is on a 29-hectare site that is equivalent to almost 50 football pitches off Rawcliffe Road and is the largest housing scheme in Goole for decades.

Beal CEO Richard Beal said: ‘We identified the rich potential of Goole many years ago, 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 are now pleased to have secured full planning permission to continue our long-term investment and the critical contribution we are making to Goole's remarkable rejuvenation.’

Beal Land director Chris Murphy added: ‘The Greenways has transformed the quality and variety of housing in Goole, providing luxury, contemporary homes for local residents as well as attracting new people to the town. As the largest single development in our company's history, securing full planning permission for the remainder of The Greenways marks another significant milestone in our delivery of this long-term scheme. It builds on our proud history of delivering high-quality developments that enhance local communities, provide desirable places to live, and support economic growth.’

The approval also includes a new public right of way to be created around the perimeter of The Greenways, as well as a cycle path.

Additionally, new public green spaces will also be created, with direct access to the popular West Park Goole, which includes a playground, multi-use games area, BMX tracks, sports pitches, and a bowling green.
