The South Blockhouse project has been granted planning approval by Hull City Council's planning committee.
The planning committee meeting took place on Wednesday 5 March and members voted unanimously to approve the plans to transform the site of the national significant monument, near The Deep.
The plans will see the site completely transformed, with hard and soft landscaping framing the footprint of the South Blockhouse and majestic, ghostly structures rising from the ground to give a sense of the structure and scale of the original building.
The regeneration of the site will bring long-hidden stories to life.
Although National Highways have confirmed they are no longer funding the project, Hull City Council remains committed to delivering the project and will continue to explore all funding opportunities to ensure the project moves forward, including through on-going conversations with National Highways.
Our focus remains on protecting and preserving this important site for future generations and promoting it as a cultural and educational resource.
