Large HMO in Beverley Road, Hull, approved at second attempt
Councillors heard that the development would incorporate a gym and cinema room. The bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities, would be spread across three floors.The building had been occupied by Alan Wood & Partners, an engineering consultancy, for the past 40 years. Mr Kay told the committee that the firm had outgrown the premises and would be looking for a larger site, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.He suggested that, should the proposal be turned down, there would be a "significant chance" of jobs losses and of Alan Wood moving out of the city.Councillor Paul Drake-Davis, the council's portfolio holder for regeneration and housing, said there were too many HMOs in the area and they had a "significant detrimental effect on the local community".He called on the committee to "show support for the residents".Councillor David McCobb argued that an "over-proliferation" of HMOs was "having a significant detrimental affect on the local community".The application, for 337-341 Beverley Road, was narrowly approved by five votes to four, with one abstention.Speaking after the meeting, Mr Kay said he was "over the moon" with the decision.

Waitrose apologises as product recalled due to 'health risk'
The supermarket chain has recalled its Waitrose & Partners Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta from shelves in its Scottish and Welsh stores. The pasta poses a 'possible health risk' to some customers as it contains mustard which is not mentioned on the label. The affected pasta has a use by date of August 27, 2025 and comes in packs of 375g. A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: 'Waitrose is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. 'The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. 'These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product. 'If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to mustard, do not eat it. Instead return it to your local Waitrose & Partners branch for a refund. 'You can contact Waitrose Customer Care on 0800 188 884, Option 4.' A Waitrose spokesman added: 'We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused.' Recommended Reading: What is a product recall? If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
