Hull City Council have responded to the plans with a series of objections.
Whilst the principle of a Park and Ride facility on the allocated DUN-A site is supported, and the revised proposal does offer some improvements over the previously withdrawn scheme, the City Council still has serious concerns in respect of the scale of development proposed and impact on neighbouring residents. The proposed scope of the ‘ancillary’ facilities (bus depot, 2 drive thru facilities and petrol filling station and shop) clearly falls outside the scope of the allocation. Ancillary facilities are to be expected in such a site and are envisaged by the allocation, however in this proposal there is little planning justification for the scale and range of the additional commercial facilities. Furthermore, the lack of sufficient detail on surface water drainage on the site needs to be addressed as does the issues identified above relating to noise and air quality impacts to the neighbouring residential properties.
For these reasons Hull City Council objects to the planning application.
