Plans in for hotel and leisure extension at Cottingham Parks golf club

Cottingham Parks Golf & Leisure Club in Hull could be set for a large-scale expansion.

Commercial property firm GVA has submitted an outline planning application for new hotel accomodation, clubhouse space and homes at the facility.

The development, driven through a joint venture between the owner of Cottingham Parks and Sewell Investments, will look to deliver a 70-bedroom hotel, extend the existing clubhouse and leisure facilities, and create up to 152 retirement dwellings.

Cottingham Parks currently employs 59 people. The works could create from 30 to 45 full-time jobs on site, along with 136 full-time equivalent construction jobs.

The application’s project team was led by consultants Shared Agenda and included HLM Architects, Local Transport Projects (LTP), Quants Environmental and GGP Consult.

GVA’s Anne Hargreaves said: “The development proposed for Cottingham Parks offers an entirely unique marriage of uses on a single site, that will deliver both economic and social benefits that carry significant weight and are material considerations in the context of determining this outline application that sits within the countryside.

“The retirement housing will become an integral part of the Cottingham Parks offer – residents will be able to benefit from the opportunity to remain active through their retirement with the improved golf and leisure facilities on their doorstep, as well as the new bowling green.”

She added: “Residents will also benefit from living in a retirement community with ready access to a large number of on-site facilities that will enable them to socialise and avoid isolation.”

A decision on the application is due in Q2 2018.
