Former Hull gas works site set to house caravan logistics for major holiday park business

Part of a huge vacant site in Hull sold earlier this year in a £5.25 million deal could be used to store caravans and lodges destined for holiday parks around the UK.

The 33-acre former National Grid-owned site off Clough Road was bought by the Hull-based civil engineering group Ashcourt in May. It was previously used as a storage site by British Gas.

At the time, the deal was described as a "huge win for the local area" with the prospect of creating "significant employment opportunities". Under city council planning policy, it is zoned for future employment, industrial or trade counter uses and is divided into separate development plots of between three and 10 acres.
