Summarised from Hull Daily Mail's report · Updated 5 Nov, 08:36 · Archive

Hull KR has secured planning permission for a major redevelopment of land surrounding Craven Park that will include a community hub, retail park and training facilities.

Hull KR has secured planning permission from Hull City Council for a major redevelopment of land surrounding Craven Park. The project would include a community hub with sporting facilities, a commercial retail park, specialist training pitches, a first-team building and an academy base, representing what CEO Paul Lakin described as a 'generational' development.

Lakin told Hull Live that the club is concentrating on the land development because of current funding opportunities. He said the work will benefit both the club and the surrounding community, with the retail park aspect potentially creating hundreds of jobs. The priority is the sports campus, with temporary stands that currently stand to the east and south of the pitch set to remain in place for at least the next season. Stadium expansion plans are currently on hold whilst the redevelopment proceeds.
