Change Of Use Of Vacant Dock Land To Concrete Batching Plant 2. [285] Additionally, the former Queen's Dock basin was converted to an enclosed dock after the main dock was infilled. [4][note 2] During this period the River Hull was made navigable as far as the then important town of Beverley (1269), and roads were built connecting Hull to Beverley and Holderness and to the via regia between Hessle and Beverley near to Anlaby (about 1302). Two graving docks, one 500 feet (150 m) long and 60 feet (18 m) wide, the other a little larger, were built at the north-east corner of the dock.

In the next half century a ring of docks was built around the old down on the site of the former fortifications, known as the Town Docks. The dock was to have a 5 acres (2.0 ha) entrance basin on the Humber, and a lock suitable for the largest. This condition was satisfied in 1825. The depth of water varied from 21 to 26 ft (6.4 to 7.9 m) seasonally depending on the tides. [65], The dock was first filled with water on 3 December 1808 and was formally opened on 30 June 1809.

VIEW DEALS, Southern Tide The total land area including locks, basins and reclaimed land to the west was 76 acres (31 ha). The largest part of the scheme (£2,000,000) was the extension of the north quay by the total removal of coal loading equipment, and conversion of the echelon (diagonal) berthing arrangement on the far north and north-east dock walls into standard straight dockside. [7], Until 1773, trade was conducted via the Old Harbour, also known as The Haven, a series of wharves on the west bank of the River Hull,[note 3] with warehouses and the merchants' houses backing on to the wharves along the High Street.

[226] Revised plans for the site submitted in April 2015 included only a blade manufacturing factory at the site, together with storage and other logistics facilities for wind farm installation work, with no nacelle production. [45] The lock basin was rebuilt at the same time, to the same design as used in the new Humber Dock—the new basin was 213 feet (65 m) long, narrowing from 80.5 to 71 feet (24.5 to 21.6 m) wide from top to bottom. [87], The dock had an area of about 12.83 acres (5.19 ha), with the Half Tide Basin 3 acres (1.2 ha), the outer basin onto the Humber 2.75 acres (1.11 ha), and the Drypool Basin 1.125 acres (0.455 ha).

The dock incorporated its own power supply, consisting of three 20 by 6 feet (6.1 by 1.8 m) (long by diameter) boilers supplying a 40 horsepower (30 kW) steam engine which powered both the hydraulic system via a hydraulic accumulator at 700 pounds per square inch (4,800 kPa), as well as being able to pump mains water around the dock. [219] The conclusion of the agreement was delayed because of planning issues and uncertainties over the UK's renewable energy policy.
