The site consists of former student accommodation for the University of Hull in an open and highly attractive parkland setting. The buildings date from 1963-1967 by acclaimed architects Gillespie, Kidd and Coia. The total site area is approximately 29.13 acres gross (11.789hectares). The site is arranged in a broadly rectangular shape with the current built
form being situated in a series of six three-storey Grade II* Listed residential blocks and main student centre running along the northern and eastern sections of the site. The access is via a long driveway from Harland Way to the south of the site.
The site is bordered by Cottingham High School & Sixth Form to the west. To the east is Ferens Hall, which is a further former student accommodation block that has now been allocated in the Local Plan for residential development. There is established
and attractive residential housing to the northern and southern boundaries. There are a number of established trees on the site. The site’s topography is relatively flat across the site with a small area of raised ground surrounding the two tennis courts.

Upon Hull
The site extends to approximately 29.13 acres gross (11.789hectares) and is located outside but adjacent to the settlement limits for Cottingham and is therefore in the open countryside. The site is located outside the Cottingham Conservation Area, outside of the Green Belt and within Flood Zone 1.
The site comprises six three-storey Grade II* residential blocks known as Downs Hall, Morgan Hall, Nicholson Hall, Reckitt Hall, Grant Hall and Lambert Hall. Each block was erected between 1963 and 1967 and previously provided student accommodation for the University of Hull across three storeys and a basement. The site also includes a former student centre, known as The Lawns centre, and an associated car park in an open parkland setting.
Affordable Housing requirements are 25% for Cottingham as per adopted Policy H2.
ERoYC are currently undertaking a Local Plan Review. Consultation on the draft Local Plan is expected in Spring 2021, with adoption targeted for 2022 albeit the Council have advised that the adoption timescales may slip following Covid-19 delays.
