Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority, Homes England, Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council signed a Strategic Place Partnership on 9 October 2026, according to the source published that day. Mayor Luke Campbell MBE and Homes England chair Pat Ritchie CBE signed the agreement at Hull Guildhall.

The partnership is intended to coordinate a pipeline of priority development sites and address land, infrastructure, viability and investment issues, with housing planned alongside transport and jobs. It builds on existing work. At East Bank Urban Village in Hull, largely vacant brownfield land beside the River Hull was planned for up to 850 homes plus commercial space and green areas, with phase one construction then expected to begin in 2027. Homes England was reported to be working with East Riding of Yorkshire Council on Easton Road in Bridlington and Alamein Barracks in Driffield, and supporting plans for around 1,800 homes at Howden.

Homes England describes the partnership as a formal framework for agreeing shared housing and regeneration priorities and working together on delivery. The stated longer-term ambition is that such partnerships could progress to a Place Delivery Agreement involving Homes England and the National Housing Bank.
