East Riding of Yorkshire includes Beverley, Bridlington, and Goole. Known for historic market towns, coastal resorts, and agricultural landscapes, planning focuses on conservation and sensitive residential growth. We can advise and support residential, commercial, and conversion schemes across the district.
In the last year East Riding of Yorkshire decided 1,878 applications which is well above the national average of 988. The approval rate was 89% (roughly equal to the national average of 88%) and 85% of applications were decided on time, (significantly above the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how East Riding of Yorkshire performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.
Open Countryside within East Riding of Yorkshire refers to land situated outside built-up areas and Green Belt boundaries, typically comprising farmland or natural landscapes. Residential development is generally restricted unless special circumstances can be demonstrated.
East Riding’s agricultural plains, estuaries, and historic villages are visually prominent and safeguarded from inappropriate development.
One of the top reasons poorly prepared proposals in the Open Countryside are refused is that they fail to demonstrate a policy-supported need. To minimise that risk with bespoke advice contact us here.
In some areas of the LPA, flood risk plays a key role in determining planning proposals. The Humber Estuary, the River Hull catchment, and the low-lying Vale of York together create some of the most extensive Flood Zone 3 areas in the country, severely constraining growth across much of the authority. Where constraints permit, we can develop proposals that manage flood risk thoughtfully to give applications the best chance of approval.
Nutrient Neutrality ensures new developments do not increase harmful nitrogen or phosphorus levels in sensitive waterways. Parts of the East Riding fall within the Hornsea Mere catchment, where both nitrogen and phosphorus neutrality apply to new residential development affecting this internationally important coastal lake. Unfortunately, Nutrient Neutrality can halt development completely. If you need early-stage, project-specific advice contact us here.
As well as acting as Planning Consultants we are ARB registered architects with over 25 years’ experience. Our site-specific planning proposals balance creativity with strategic insight. We use the following field-tested work stages to help clients in East Riding of Yorkshire achieve successful planning outcomes:
We work collaboratively with clients and shape a design that respects local character and meets Planning Policy requirements in order to maximise your chances of winning Planning Permission.
