20. Masterplan Strategy Reuniting the core areas ………..
Brief Historical Background
The design philosophy proposes to reunite the three core areas
Historically water has been one of the key defining elements for
(Mere, town centre and sea front) of Hornsea. This will be done
Hornsea’s growth and will continue to be so. In 1854 the urban fabric
through the consolidation and reinforcement of activities and
and spatial form of Hornsea was concentrated around the north east
physical form of the town within these three areas, as well as those
corner of the Mere along what is now Seaton Rd and Southgate as
areas appropriate for conservation and preservation. This includes
well as along Newbegin. By 1909 there had been a pull towards the
reinforcing and strengthening the historic street pattern and general
sea along Eastgate and Cliff Rd. Today Hornsea has established itself
urban street grain, and to use this consolidation of activities and
between the two, with the Mere forming its western boundary and the
physical form to redefine the core areas into the following:
sea its eastern boundary.
1854 1909 2006 • Old Town, The Mere – core historic / rural recreational offer;
• Town Centre, Newbegin – core retail offer;
• Sea front, Promenade – core recreational offer:
• North Promenade – informal recreation;
• Central Promenade – recreational focal point;
These diagrams clearly illustrate the growth & spread of Hornsea from 1854 • South Promenade – formal recreation
through to present day
Due to the pull of the two areas of water Hornsea has grown into three
clear core areas - the old town (Mere), leisure area (sea front) and
between these the town centre (Newbegin). However, the transition of
the urban grain between these areas has been lost over time and
because of this there is little to encourage public flow between them.

21. Area 4 – Broadway/Central Promenade Ideas generated from stakeholder workshops
Issues
• This area to the immediate south of the Promenade Scheme
provides some continuity of design and appearance.
• Central Promenade accommodates a number of facilities which
although having dual community and tourism functions,
predominantly serve the tourism and day-trip market including the
Leisure Centre which provides a wet weather facility, tourist
facilities, car parking, restaurants and arcades.
• Proposals to relocate the Floral Hall from the North Promenade to
this site to form a central leisure hub to the promenade sea front
will be the driving force for future redevelopment.
• Within the Floral Hall redevelopment the provision of flexible
space for art exhibitions, and youth activities should be
considered.
View down promenade Parade of shops/outlets
• Opportunities should be taken to improve the quality and legibility
of the public realm and to tidy up and create better legibility at the
end of the TransPennine Trail, to provide a far more
memorable sense of arrival/departure.
• The proposals should provide a wider more inviting public street
frontage by opening up the wall between the leisure area and
promenade. New street furniture and signage along the View across leisure centre car park Leisure centre
promenade, within the leisure area and along New Road should
form and identify the transition and linkage between the South
Promenade and Central promenade and between the sea front
(Central Promenade / leisure core) and Newbegin (town centre /
retail core).
• Planning permission has been granted for ground floor
retail/restaurant and residential above development on the site of
the former Luigi’s restaurant.

Entrance from promenade to the new Floral Hall
Urban Design / Landscape Principles
Future Proposals
• The character of the Central Promenade as Hornsea’s leisure core
should be reinnforced with the new Floral Hall being located adjacent
to the leisure centre presenting an active leisure frontage to the
promenade;
• The new Floral Hall needs to respond to the grain of the Central
Promenade, in particular to its award winning vernacular. A maximum
of 2 commercial type floors would be appropriate;
• The new Floral Hall needs to be developed to provide a focal point
building to the promenade.
Street Scene
• The new Floral Hall development should unite the public realm
between New Road and the Central Promenade, bringing visual and
functional order to this vital space at the convergence of the town Location of proposed Floral Hall
centre and sea front;
• Surfacing to this area should be a resin bound gravel which reflects
New floral hall location
the character of the central promenade;
• Street furniture and signage should reinforce the narrative of
Hornsea’s sea front having one long promenade, while rationalisation
of the various elements will help movement, improve views and define
access between the town centre and sea front;
• Extend new hard surfacing along New Road to link the town centre
through to the sea front; and pick up key elements such as Memorial
Gardens.
Open Space
• A new open space needs to be created adjacent to the development
View of current Floral Hall location & proposed location
of the Floral Hall to strengthen the link between this leisure core area,
the promenade and the leisure centre.
