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.
In the last year East Riding of Yorkshire decided 1,794 applications which is well above the national average of 959. The approval rate was 90% (roughly equal to the national average of 88%) and 87% of applications were decided on time, (significantly above the national average of 58%). Stats updated Sept 2026 from gov.uk sources. See how East Riding of Yorkshire performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.

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.
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. Learn more about development risks in flood risk areas here.
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. We support clients through all stages of the planning process, offering the following services:
Creative architectural design is often what secures Planning Permission where standard approaches fall short. Tell us about your project.
