| Mr Yeung - successful appeal |
IT'S all smiles for property entrepreneur Ming Yeung after a planning inspector rubber-stamped his firm's application to build 68 houses and 18 apartments on a greenfield site opposite the Tesco superstore at Hewitt's Circus in Cleethorpes.
Liverpool-based Mr Yeung appealed to the independent planning inspectorate after his proposal was refused by an Engie officer acting on behalf of North East Lincolnshire Council.
After carrying out an in-depth review, the inspector found in favour of Mr Yeung's firm, YPG.
It is not known whether YPG will develop the site or whether it will be sold on to another housebuilder.
An early start is unlikely because of an acute nationwide shortage of building materials in the wake of the Covid pandemic.
The provisional name of the scheme is Strawberry Fields - the title of a track on the Sergeant Pepper album of Mr Yeung's favourite group, The Beatles.
Meanwhile, there is no further update on another of the property magnate's projects - the ambitious proposal to redevelop the abandoned Pleasure Island theme park on Cleethorpes seafront.
As yet, no planning application has been submitted to NELC pending resolution of drainage, flood risk and other issues.
