But Persimmon Homes Yorkshire Ltd wants to build the homes there instead.
East Riding Council's planning committee will consider the application later this month.

Archives relating to the King at the centre include coronation memorabilia, letters and film footage of his visit to Hull in 1941 during the Second World War.
Esther Farrow, education officer at Hull History Centre, said: "I loved the film and it inspired me to see what we had in our collections that could tell people more about George VI."
HULL: Former Poet Laureate Andrew Motion has paid tribute to Philip Larkin's photographic skill in a new poem.

Mr Motion said: "The lines remember that Larkin was a gifted photographer, as well as a great poet – and in both his pictures and his writing, he went to great lengths to celebrate things that are easily overlooked."
The exhibition opens on Thursday and runs until Thursday, March 24.
