Housebuilder Barratt will launch developments bringing 643 new homes to the Humber region this year.
Two schemes in Beverley and a third in New Waltham represent an £89 million investment, with nearly 500 construction jobs to be supported.
The East Yorkshire market town will see 404 homes added off Woodmansey Mile, with the Queens Court development bringing forward 280 units, and the David Wilson Homes’ branded Minster View adding 124.
On the South Bank it will start on the 16.3 acre site at Toll Bar Roundabout, off Station Road. A total of 239 homes will form Wigmore Park.
As part of the approved plans, Barratt Developments will also contribute £1 million to the enhancement of education, highways, and open spaces for the local community.
Daniel Smith, managing director of the five-star rated Barratt Developments Yorkshire East, said: “We’re very pleased to be able to contribute to the local economy in and around Beverley, Grimsby and New Waltham as well as support a wealth of jobs across the region. We are committed to investing in and supporting our local tradesmen, and look forward to working with them over the next 12 months to build even more quality homes.”
During 2020 alone, Barratt built 494 new homes across the region.
It comes as progress appears to be being made on a strategic plan to expand Grimsby’s western aspect, with 3,800 homes proposed.

Agricultural landowners MF Strawson and Sir Richard Sutton Settled Estates are behind the long-held plan that involves a relief road stretching from the A46 to the A1136 roundabout linking with the A180.
Houses would be spread across four separate sites, each with their own amenities and style.
Each community is set to be aligned with existing villages Healing, Great Coates and Laceby, and Grimsby’s furthest reaches of Wybers Wood and Laceby Acres.
It is understood the landowners were united by the local authority, North East Lincolnshire Council, with the proposal allowing it to achieve around a third of the 9,330 houses it deems to be required by 2030 in the Local Plan.
Surveyors are believed to have been engaged as the plan is taken forward, though neither developer has responded to requests for comments.
From a proposal in 2013, each area would have a different aesthetic and range from 159 to 1,933 houses. All is currently agricultural land, split only by Aylesby Road.
Church Fields, St Nicholas View, Freshney Springs and Laceby Holt are the names given to the additions, with leisure and education provision included.
