Preston Road regeneration

Funding was committed for the regeneration of the Preston Road area over a 5-year period. Much of this work is now complete with -

  • 1000 new builds
  • refurbishment of 366 Winget homes
  • demolition of 514 Winget houses

Demolition

Most of these properties were a non-traditional property type referred to as a Winget. These homes were identified for demolition. This is because their construction was classified as defective. Extensive reinvestment would have been needed to prolong their life.

Refurbishment

Winget homes to the west of Holderness Drain and Marfleet Lane have been refurbished. All others are demolished.

New build

New homes at -

  • Exeter Grove
  • Ganstead Grove
  • Portobello Street
  • Maybury Road
  • Alexander Gardens - the former Greif site, off Southcoates Lane
  • Grange Road

have now been completed by our City-Wide Lead Developer consortium which includes -

  • Keepmoat Homes
  • Strata Homes
  • Homegroup

6 new bungalows at Hopewell Road have now been built as part of the council’s Small Sites Housing Programme.

Preston Road between Marfleet Lane and Holderness Drain. This is an ongoing 15-year programme.

Our lead developer partner has planning permission to deliver the first phase of 242 homes on the site. There will be around 500 homes in total, built over the next 5-years. It is part funded by the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership. As part of the first phase, there will be 25 new council homes for rent. The remaining houses on the site will be for sale and rent. 167 homes are for sale by Strata Homes, and 50 homes for private rent from Wise Living. Building work has begun on this first phase.

To be considered for one of the new Preston Road council homes, you must be registered on our housing list. Bid for them when they are advertised. We usually allocate the homes some time before they are ready. It is important you register on our list and then check our adverts every week for new properties.

Register on the housing list

We have also agreed some local lettings policies for our new council houses. They give priority to existing council tenants with good tenancy records. Other people can still apply.

Private rent homes

Homes are also available to rent from Wise Living.
