Plans for 42 homes off Stallingborough Road in Healing given green light

“para_handy, I'm not sure what your point is regarding Millenium? Do you mean that no new houses should be built because their owners are at risk of death? Are current Healing residents immune to the effects of Titanium tetrachloride?

Many of the jobs in the area are in Stallingborough, Immingham and Killinghome. Living in the town centre is not ideal for travelling to these places. Surely those workers should be allowed the opportunity to move closer to work?

As long as the infrastructure is in place and the planning polices are adhered to, I do not see there being a problem with this. What would be the point in building new homes on the Birds Eye site if nobody wants to buy them? Builders are in the business to make money, and they are more likely to sell homes on the outskirts of town than in the centre.

It is human nature to want to 'better' yourself. You start off in the town centres and you move out to the suburbs and villages as you become more comfortable financially. You want to give your kids a better education, you move to the catchment area of the best schools. It's called social mobility and it's something that has given ordinary working class people the potential for a better life. Why should living in a village or being near a successful school only be for those living down the Avenue or in the more established areas of the village?”

“The centre of Healing is only 2·49 miles from a large storage facility containing both Chlorine and Titanium-tetra-Chloride. In the industrial history of the Humber bank, no other industrial facility has had such a long HSE stop and remediation order due to loss of control of hazardous substances.

It has been said time and again, why let the heart of Grimsby die and become derelict? Brown field sites already have all the major utilities and road infrastructure....AND ARE BEST LOCATED FOR LOW COST HOUSING OR REFURBISHMENT, without forcing low income families to have travel difficulties getting to shops etc.

NELC plc have a hidden agenda of spoiling all the villages by promoting green field development against the wishes of most villagers, and at the same time willingly allowing the town of Grimsby to deteriorate into slums and wasteland, why?

NELC plc do not serve the electorate; preferring to carry out their own self serving policies, in the main, against the wishes of those they purport to serve. Grimsby all over, spoil all that is good and people are proud of and coincidentally allow the inner town decay to worsen.”

“more lego house on clonville , walking round healings new estates is like been in a bad dream wheres there s no escape.”

“@233martin - Totally agree with your comment regarding brown field sites in Grimsby. However there is a headlong rush in trying to develop more and more sites in the villages surrounding Grimsby, why? Because developers don't think there is enough profit in building houses in Grimsby itself. Someone has bought a field for next to nothing, and can build on it far more easily. What sort of strain does that put on the infrastructure of the villages, they need to upgrade water sewage and power utilities. Then there will be a call to upgrade the road, so there's a four lane highway so they can get in and out of town as fast as possible. There should be a moratorium on further village developments until all brown field sites are all used.”

“NoToTheVillageHall
There are more than enough brown field sites around Grimsby and Cleethorpes that should take priority in there development instead of taking away two horse paddocks. The prime example is ladysmith road where it has planning permission for over 100 houses for the last 4 years but they won't develop that because it is too costly and not profitable. Also the 20 % of affordable housing is not actually on this site it is a contribution towards regenerating somewhere else ! They are only building high revenue houses.”

“At least 20 per cent of the homes are allocated "affordable housing" - Affordable to who I wonder?”

“The problem for these residents is not the plans, but the implementation of them. The nearby story in relation to breach of plans is a classic example. The houses were built in the wrong place and the application was granted around landscaping which was taken out -not added to. It has taken 3 long years of badgering the council to finally get some action. According to the chief executive of the council "there is no exact location for property on plans" and the council "are not responsible for the implementaion of plans"- this only happens if you pursue the council to act and if they decide that they want to.BEWARE”

“It will bring life back into the stuffy old place too. Make it a place to cruise through in a Corsa or a Saxa sharing one's bass line with everybody, rather than drive sedately through in a Rover 75, hoping not to wake the dead! Ah, such joy!

Rarely has a thread brought me such unalloyed delight!!!!

“42 new homes!!! At this rate Healing will be needing a new village hall.........”

“Is healing becoming the new great Coates ?
I would have thought new houses would have been more welcome than the cannabis farm of healing manor ?
Ha ho”
