Huge Humber International Enterprise Park development's consultation to 're-open' next week

Residents will get the chance to have a further say on the proposed Humber International Enterprise Park next week.

The development from Associated British Ports would take in Hedon Haven, to the east of Saltend Chemicals Park.

It is hoped that it could attract industry at a scale capable of providing 6,500 jobs, with 400,000 sq m of new build facilities.

The application was deferred by East Riding Council earlier this month to allow for further consultation.

Now the ABP team will invite residents from Paull, Hedon and surrounding areas to air their views online.

A spokesperson said: “Next Tuesday, ABP and the project team will present the latest scheme. Following this they will take questions and respond to comments made. To create a focussed discussion, there will be 10 “speaking” spaces in each session on a first come first served basis. These will be allocated in advance.”

An observer from the local authority will be present, with 6pm to 7pm on Match 2 allocated for the Paull community and 7.15pm to 8.15pm for Hedon.

Those interested in speaking have been urged to register with the property consultancy appointed by the port giant, Montagu Evans. Full details are on ABP’s website.

It comes as Siemens Gamesa enters the planning process as it looks to double the size of the offshore wind turbine blade manufacturing facility at Green Port Hull, as infrastructure is scaled up to meet ramped up targets for deployment on the Energy Estuary.

Yorkshire Energy Park on the former Hedon Airfield has just been consented for development, while across the river Able Marine Energy Park is also looking to build on an agreement with South Korean monopile manufacturer SeAH to make development there feasible.

The HIEP application was first submitted in late 2018, following an engagement session that ABP said “shaped further revisions to the proposal”.
