Compendium Living, a joint venture between Lovell and the Riverside Group, has been appointed as the Lead Developer Partner to develop new modern housing within the Ings area.

Hull City Council and Compendium Living have been working together since last year to develop plans and designs for 770 new quality homes that will transform the area into an 'urban village' to benefit the whole community for generations to come.

This announcement follows the recent public consultation event on Saturday 29th June at which residents viewed the master plan and provide their views before the submission of the planning application. This appointment will allow the Council and Compendium Living to replicate the success of the housing developments created with council partners in the west of the city, which are some of the fastest selling developments in the country last year. It is hoped that following planning approval building will begin in summer 2014.

We look forward to working in partnership with Compendium to develop high quality, modern housing in a much needed area. These are exciting times for the area and it presents a real opportunity for the community to shape the area for generations to come and to be involved in the regeneration."
