It looks like the new Roomzzz Aparthotel is getting ready for business. It has submitted a series of plannng amendents as well as a plan for dealing with flooding.
The flood plan confirms that the first floor of the building is above forecast flood levels but it acknowleges that, when Terry Avenue becomes flooded (at around 3.5 metres above normal river levels), the only access will be via the caravan site and Vine Street.
It appears that the building will be evacuated if the Envioonment Agency forecases that river levels will rise above 3.5 metres (at Viking).
Historic river level gauge readings show that the Ouse has exceeded a height of 4 metres on at least one occasion in each of the last 5 years
The other planning applications for the development relate to changes to landscaping, glazing and signage
