Plan to regenerate Hull's docklands approved
The concept for a cruise terminal at Albert and William Wright Dock and housing south of Wellington Street West
- Published
Designs for the regeneration of Hull's Western Docklands have been approved by the city council.
The plans include a new cruise terminal at Albert and William Wright Dock as well as housing.
Meanwhile a medical technology centre could be built at the Smith and Nephew site once the company relocates to a facility in Melton.
Councillor Paul Drake-Davis, regeneration portfolio holder, said the Western Docklands regeneration would herald "a new chapter for this part of the city".
The plans which were approved set out how regeneration could look in each part of the area between Hessle Road and Albert Dock.
They set out overarching principles which future developments would have to take into account.
The Ice Arena would remain, while expansion of the leisure offering in the Kingston Retail Park would be encouraged.
Developments would be designed with protections against the impact of climate change in mind, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
More pedestrian and cycling routes are also proposed but most land in the area would remain for employment use.
